“Although many countries, including Serbia, are paying attention to the US presidential elections, that does not mean that it is important during the campaign in the process of collecting votes,” Catherer said on the online program to monitor the night of the elections for the president of the United States, organized by the Center for Social and Regional Dialogue. initiatives.

He added that this was seen in all previous election cycles for the president of the United States, that is, in the way that presidential candidates fight for votes where foreign policy issues are not that important.

Who will win the American elections?

However, he emphasized that these elections are major issues that existed in 2016 and are still ahead of US and world voters.

“The migration problem remains a local American and global problem. The Mexican border is creating frustrations on both sides of the border. He is trying to find an effective policy, but Trump is committed to building a wall, while the Democrats want free movement on both sides of the border. ” says Katerer.

On the other hand, he adds, he saw the border between the United States and Canada closed for the first time, emphasizing that trade relations with Canada are very important to the United States.

“It will depend on the views of Biden and Trump on migration how many votes they get in each country,” Catherer said, adding that the US elections are a complex process in which elections are held simultaneously in 50 countries and one district. .

When it comes to the way incumbent President Donald Trump behaves, Catheter says that he is a man who sees himself as a “man who makes contracts”, and that it is not just his personal style, but also the way of his government what has “bypassed” the state for four years. American institutions, especially those that deal with foreign policy.

Therefore, when it comes to NATO, Catheter recalls that all previous American presidents protested the way NATO is financed, but, as he emphasizes, Trump asked an open question why does NATO exist, why is it necessary? in the coming decades and what it brings to the United States and Europe. , but also the rest of the world.

As he said, the Trump administration had “very low” relations with allies.

“It is very important who will win due to the difference between Democrats and Republicans, and especially the Trump administration in the way it manages the institutions that are key in the implementation of US foreign policy, especially the State Department, the military, but also numerous intelligence institutions, “said Catherer. the nature and role of these institutions depend on the winner.

Trump, he adds, has expressed great frustration with these institutions, including the US military, for the past four years, although he has said he supports it.

“And these are actually the institutions that directed America’s foreign policy around 1947,” Katerer emphasizes.

The question arises, he says, if Trump wins, what American institutions dealing with foreign policy will be based on in 2024.

On the other hand, what will happen to the institutions if Biden wins because he cannot return before 2016.

“We need a review of the US Foreign Policy Service, and not a return to the 1990s,” Catherer estimates.

He also added that it is important who wins because, as he explains, the party that wins will later win the US congressional elections.

“It is important who will win because the winner takes everything. It is important which party will control the US Congress later,” concludes Katerer.
