Trump's initial strategy may bear a striking resemblance to Biden's policies, according to The New York Times.

Despite Donald Trump, the victor of the U.S. presidential election, labeling the policies of his predecessor Joe Biden as "historically terrible," his initial approach may largely mirror the views of the current President. This was reported by The New York Times on November 29.
Первоначальная стратегия Трампа может удивительно напоминать политику Байдена, согласно данным The New York Times.

The article states that Trump desires friendly relations with the illegitimate president of the aggressor country, Russia, Vladimir Putin, may reduce U.S. support for Ukraine, and has threatened to withdraw from NATO.

However, the publication noted that aside from his stance on Europe and his plans regarding Russia and Ukraine, Trump's initial approach may bear a surprising resemblance to Biden's status quo.

According to Richard Fontaine, the executive director of the Center for a New American Security, there is often greater continuity between previous and future administrations of different parties than an average observer might expect. In particular, Biden has continued to implement several key policy decisions from Trump's first term.

As an example, the newspaper cited the relationship between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. Despite initially labeling the kingdom as a "pariah" and halting the supply of offensive weapons for the military campaign against Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen, Biden eventually reconciled with Saudi Arabia's oil influence and resumed arms sales. This was conditional on the kingdom establishing official diplomatic relations with Israel.
