Kamala Harris, officially nominated by Democrats as organization presidential candidate, has not been peculiarly curious in abroad policy so far. In a speech at the end of the convention, Harris announced that America would not retreat from global leadership and advance American values. There is no question of isolationism and focus on solving interior problems.
Although Harris' speech at the end of the convention was full of references to her biography, which was expected to show that she understood the challenges facing the Americans and is ready to fight for their affairs, the US presidential candidate – to the surprise of many – besides reacted to any abroad policy issues.
Harris primarily put emphasis on 3 things in her campaign: the economy, abortion and immigration. She opposed a taxation simplification which she felt would not benefit the mediate class, but "Trump and his friends-billionaires".
Donald Trump's efforts to reduce abortion, in the opinion of the Democratic candidate, is "crazy". In the case of migration, she stated that "Trump believes that a border agreement would harm his campaign, so he ordered his allies in legislature to block it". In turn, it advocates a comprehensive agreement on access to America.
Referring to abroad policy, she referred to the tradition of U.S. Presidents dating back to the time of Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman, stressing the importance of global leadership of America. Harris is opposed to the policy of isolationism, which does not mean a complete withdrawal from US activity on the global stage, but alternatively to place greater emphasis on the resolution of matters in his own country.
The Democratic candidate advocates focusing on "the steadfast promotion of American safety and values abroad".
As Chief Commander, she announced that she would guarantee that "America always has the strongest, most deadly fighting force in the world."
Harris has made it clear that Donald Trump is outside of the treaty, outside the establishment, he is simply individual outside the mainstream erstwhile it comes to shaping abroad policy and is so expected to ignore American soldiers, attack NATO allies, and does not want to attract “autocrats to account due to the fact that he himself wants to be an autocrat”.
She vowed that "as president she would never hesitate to defend America's safety and ideals, due to the fact that in the ongoing conflict between democracy and tyranny she knows where they stand and where the United States belongs." In another words, it will proceed to interfere with the interior affairs of another states.
Harris has no solution for Jews and Palestinians. However, she pointed out that she would support Israel's right to self-defense while acknowledging the degree of Palestinian suffering. As president, she will work to end the bloody Israeli-Palestinian war.
In fact, Harris supported the Democratic organization Programme approved by the organization Platform Committee before Joe Biden withdrew from the race last month, and it focuses on "enhancing American leadership worldwide".
Michael Hirsch of "Foreign Policy" suggested that Harris "represents a fresh generation of national safety experts, soaked in newer, technologically advanced threats with which the Cold War generation represented by Biden is little familiar. These include a number of cyber threats, including election hacking and surveillance from abroad, allegedly from state-owned companies specified as Chinese Huawei; threats from space specified as reports of Russian or Chinese schemes aimed at shutting down GPS systems; and threats outside the horizon from artificial intelligence and quantum computers.”
Other experts propose that Harris will prioritise the fight against China and strengthen partnerships in the Indo-Pacific region.
Politologist Rush Dosi in the conversation "Squawk Box Asia" of the CNBC station emphasized Harris' greater focus on Indo-Pacific. manager of China strategy Initiative at the Council on abroad Relations, said that Harris as vice president and senator “threw any of the most crucial provisions on China”. Over the last 4 years, she has travelled to the region respective times and "met almost all Asian leader".
In addition, the Biden administration most likely had "the most robust Indo-Pacific agenda of all administrations for decades," Doshi considers building partnerships and alliances, specified as AUKUS, a tripartite safety partnership with Australia and Britain, and Quad, a diplomatic partnership covering Australia, India and Japan. They were all designed to counter the power and influence of China in the region.
A akin partnership-focused approach was observed in economical and trade policy, aimed at addressing the challenge of Chinese competition.
However, Harris will not quit his cooperation with China to tackle any global challenges. It supports climate policy, “green governance” and the decarbonisation of the world. It advocates trade agreements in which the fight against climate warming will be highlighted.
She besides advocates strong multilateral cooperation with European allies and within the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). It supports the strong U.S. commitment to the war in Ukraine and the arms race in space. He wants to give even more financial assistance to Kiev.
Harris besides prioritises the issue of national and global healthcare. It advocates promoting abortion in the country and abroad and adopting the anti-pandemic agreement of the planet wellness Organisation.
