"After months of gamesmanship and speculation, JD Vance has emerged as Donald
Trump’s 2024 running mate and the heir apparent to the America First movement.

With less than two years in Congress under his belt, the first-term senator
from Ohio has very little experience in politics, let alone conducting foreign
policy.

Yet Vance represents a clear departure from the Ronald Reagan-era foreign
policy views that characterised Trump’s previous vice president, Mike Pence.
Pence spent much of his time in office making trips to reassure US allies and
partners overseas, delivering speeches aimed at providing strategic clarity to
Trump’s often unpredictable actions.

As Trump’s vice presidential pick, Vance’s foreign policy views could prove
similarly influential if the former president is re-elected in November. So,
what could a Vance vice presidency mean for the rest of the world?"
