Experts: Democratic Win in Congress Could Limit Trump's Foreign Policy Plans
The results of the US midterm congressional elections will shape not only domestic politics but also America's relations with the wider world. Experts say a Democratic majority could curb some of President Donald Trump's plans and shift US foreign policy.
The results of the US midterm congressional elections will affect not only domestic politics in the United States but also its relations with other countries, according to experts cited by Latvian public media LSM. Midterm elections are held during a president's term and determine the makeup of Congress, the US legislature.
The new Congress will begin its work on 3 January.
What a Democratic majority could change
US President Donald Trump's rhetoric has often caused disagreements with the country's allies. Experts say a Democratic majority in Congress could now limit some of his plans and change the direction of US foreign policy.
This means the outcome of the vote may influence not only everyday life in America, but also how Washington deals with its allies and other partners around the world.
