Trump has plenty of choices when it comes to the Biden-Harris administration’s failures, but his focus on Biden’s national security record resonates with Americans wary of rising global tensions.

Panetta discussed this on Fox News’ “Your World” with host Neil Cavuto, pointing out that nations will have to reestablish connections with Trump going forward.

“Well, look, Joe Biden is — clearly, the Trump effort at the campaign was very successful. They defeated the Democrats. And, in many ways, they made clear that Joe Biden’s record was not one that really stood strong in terms of America’s national security. So, the effort now is to recognize that, with a new president, world leaders are going to have to re-establish a relationship with President Trump,” he said. “And that’s as it should be. We’ve elected a new president. That new president is now going to take charge of our ability to provide world leadership. And so, I think, whether it’s President Xi, whether it’s other leaders in the world, they are now looking forward to just exactly what kind of relationship they’ll have with President Trump. And that, to a large extent, is going to determine the future of our national security.”

Americans headed to the voting booth on November 5 likely recalled Trump’s first term as being punctuated by breathless reports from the pearl-clutching media, but largely uneventful in terms of global conflicts. Those worried about furthering America’s involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, or the Israeli-Palestine conflict were likely not inclined to vote for Harris, who effectively established herself as a second Biden term on the campaign trail.

It remains to be seen if Trump will attempt to negotiate peace in these regions, or if he will take a more isolationist approach and limit aid used for hostilities, such as sending weapons to Ukraine.
