The US midterm election results initially appeared to contradict Trump's strong stance on trade and foreign policy. Trump's party lost control of the House of Representatives, which could potentially limit his ability to unilaterally impose tariffs and engage in military conflicts.
Trading partners now have room to resist Trump's policies, which could lead to significant changes in US foreign policy and trade relations.
