They may be angry if Trump loses the midterm elections, and US-China relations are expected to remain unchanged

midterm elections Voting expected on 3rdrepublican party It will become difficult to maintain control over the House of Representatives and the Senate may also desert the President.trump He became a “useless president” during the remaining two years of his term. “Capitol Hill” quoted President Trump as saying that if the Republican Party loses control of the House and the Senate, he will become “Mr. Veto.”

“Well, if that happens, I guess I’ll have to be Mr. Veto. I won’t let him pass,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News. “Then, at some point, we can make a compromise. I’ve been in this situation before. This is not the first time that the President has been unable to control both the House and the Senate.”

Trump enjoyed a Republican-controlled Congress during the first two years of his term, but in his first term, Republicans lost control of the House of Representatives in 2019. During that time, he threatened to veto several high-profile bills, including a Senate resolution that would have prevented him from declaring a national emergency to build a wall on the US-Mexico border. Later he used his veto power several times.

Although the Democratic Party may control both houses of Congress in this year’s midterm elections, it will be difficult to achieve the two-thirds majority needed to overturn a presidential veto.

The Financial Times analyzed that even if the Democratic Party controls Congress and strictly restrains and balances Trump, he will still enjoy great authority in foreign affairs, and US-China relations may be the only diplomatic area in which he maintains his established line.

As the war in Iran continues and gasoline and diesel prices rise, Trump’s approval ratings continue to decline, even lower than the Republican Party’s overall support. Once Congress turns over, Democrats will be able to control the Trump administration through investigations, subpoenas, and legislative processes. However, the Financial Times reported that few believed Trump would obediently accept the role of lame-duck president. Christie, the former Republican governor of New Jersey, said he is “more likely to be an angry duck” and have direct confrontations with Congress.

Even if he loses control of Congress, Trump still has broad authority over foreign policy. Democratic Senator Coons is concerned that Trump may be more willing to take risks in foreign affairs. Trump attempted to negotiate with Iran’s president last year but received no response and launched an airstrike on Iran a few days later, underscoring the unpredictable nature of his foreign policy.

However, the Financial Times believes that US-China relations may be the only diplomatic area in which Trump maintains his established line.

Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet again at the APEC summit in Shenzhen in November and the G20 summit in Florida, US in December. If it goes ahead, Trump would become the first US president to meet a Chinese leader four times in a year.

A former official said Trump attaches great importance to his meeting with Xi Jinping, but Trump’s efforts to stabilize US-China relations could complicate other international issues. For example, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed holding a trilateral summit with Trump and Xi Jinping in Shenzhen to discuss the Ukrainian issue, but Ukrainian President Zelensky will not attend.
