The outcome of the presidential election in the United States, which will be held on November 5, 2024, is expected to have a significant influence on the future international situation, and the whole world is watching the outcome with great interest. What basic policy should Japan follow to weather the rough seas of the world? What kind of diplomacy is the new US administration likely to pursue with China and Taiwan, the Korean Peninsula, Russia, and Europe?
