Global Implications Of US Elections

2024 has been a year of critical elections worldwide, but the U.S. election on November 5, 2024, has captured the attention of both the wealthiest and poorest nations. As a long-standing symbol of democracy, the United States is often seen as a global leader in democratic values, particularly when those values are threatened. However, many question whether the U.S. has consistently protected democracy—or, in some cases, worsened its state. Its involvement in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran, for example, has been widely criticised, especially after the Taliban regained control in Afghanistan shortly after the U.S. and its allies withdrew.
