Will Kamala Harris carry on in Biden ’s footsteps with her conviction that in these unsettled times, it is clear America cannot retreat? Or will it be Donald Trump with his hope that “Americanism, not globalism” will lead the way? We live in a world where the value of US global influence is under question.

But America matters by dint of its economic and military strength and major role in many alliances.

No matter who’s elected, things could get worse in the world.

China 's leaders believe both Ms Harris and Trump will be tough.

But both leading Republicans and Democrats are hawkish.

Both see Beijing as being bent on trying to eclipse America as the most consequential power.

The US is the single largest donor when it comes to the UN system.

In 2022 , it provided a record $18.1bn (13.9bn) But in Trump ’s first term, he axed funding for several UN agencies and pulled out of the World Health Organisation .

Griffths still believes America is an indispensable power.
