Biden’s recent State of the Union address hinted at doubling down on foreign policies critics call 'dangerously confrontational'. His administration’s stance toward Russia—including backing Ukraine’s cross-border strikes—risks sparking 'nuclear conflict', experts caution. Meanwhile, Trump’s promise to reignite trade wars with China (remember those 2019 tariffs? ) threatens to destabilize global markets again.
