Why this matters
Why now

The US upcoming election brings renewed focus on potential shifts in foreign policy, particularly concerning the conflict in Ukraine, as former President Trump positions himself as a potential mediator.

Why it’s important

A shift in US foreign policy or a perceived change in commitment could significantly alter the geopolitical landscape, impacting alliances, economies, and the trajectory of ongoing conflicts.

What changes

The potential for a US-brokered deal between Russia and Ukraine introduces uncertainty into the existing international support structures and could force re-evaluation of current strategies by allied nations.

Winners
  • · Russia (if favorable terms)
  • · Ukraine (if conflict ends)
  • · Diplomatic solution advocates
Losers
  • · NATO cohesion
  • · Ukraine (if unfavorable terms)
  • · US long-term geopolitical influence
Second-order effects
Direct

Immediate diplomatic efforts by Trump would create pressure on both Ukraine and Russia to engage in negotiations.

Second

European allies might feel compelled to reassess their own defense and foreign policies, potentially weakening consensus within NATO.

Third

A US-brokered peace deal, depending on its terms, could establish a new precedent for international conflict resolution and alter global power dynamics.
