The countdown to 2024 has begun, and the current Biden and the former Trump will once again compete fiercely. However, the United States** is not a simple two-man showdown, but is influenced by many factors. Recently, two important variables have emerged in the United States**, both of which may have a significant impact on the election situation, and even trigger the possibility of a reversal.
The first variable is the dispute over immigration between Texas and the U.S. federal government. As Biden loosened his grip on illegal immigration, a large number of Central and South American immigrants poured into the United States, many of whom entered through the Texas border. Texas Governor Abbott considered the situation a serious threat to the security and order of Texas, so he ordered the construction of barbed wire at the border and sent the National Guard to patrol it. Biden argues that this practice violates federal law and violates the human rights of immigrants, so they filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court to remove the barbed wire. The Supreme Court upheld Biden**'s claim, but the Texas governor refused to enforce it, instead strengthening the border defenses. This led to a standoff at the border between the Texas National Guard and U.S. federal law enforcement agencies, sparking national concern.
This confrontation is actually a political game between the Republicans and the Democrats on the issue of immigration. Biden hopes to expand the Democratic Party's voter base by absorbing more immigrants, while Republicans believe that this will hurt the interests of the United States and weaken the Republican Party. Trump also took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Biden**, accusing them of connivance with immigrants, which led to chaos and crisis in the United States. Mr. Trump also said he supported the Texas approach, which he considered necessary to defend the United States. Trump's stance has been echoed by 25 Republican states, who have said that if Biden continues to pursue their immigration policies, they will take similar actions. This has undoubtedly put tremendous pressure on Biden** and has also caused Biden's approval rating to drop a lot. How Biden handles this issue will have a direct impact on their election.
The second variable is Trump's plan to impose punitive tariffs on China. It is reported that Trump has discussed this plan with his advisers, and they intend to impose a uniform 60% tariff on all Chinese imports, as a way to hit China's economy and force China to make concessions on the ** issue. Once this plan is implemented, it will have a huge impact on Sino-US economic and trade relations, and may even trigger a global war. Trump's plan, which he also proposed during 2020, was not implemented for various reasons. Now, Trump seems to want to use tariffs on China as his campaign chip again in 2024 to attract anti-China voters and increase his approval ratings.
Trump's plan has also attracted great attention from the Chinese side. China's spokesman Wang Wenbin first pointed out that China "does not comment on unconfirmed information", which shows China's attitude towards this plan, that is, to ignore it. Subsequently, Wang Wenbin emphasized China's consistent position, that is, China believes that "the essence of China-US economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win results", and that maintaining the healthy and stable development of China-US economic and trade relations is in line with the fundamental interests of the two countries and two peoples, and is also conducive to global economic growth. This shows China's basic attitude toward China-US economic and trade issues, that is, it is not afraid of provocations, does not seek concessions, adheres to principles, and seeks cooperation. Both Trump and Biden should clearly recognize this and not think that they can achieve their political goals through ** war.
In short, the two variables of the United States are the extreme measures taken by Trump in order to improve his competitiveness. He is trying to win more support by provoking the Texas standoff and tariffs on China to galvanize nationalist sentiment among the American people. However, these tactics do not necessarily work, and on the contrary, they may cause more problems and even jeopardize the national interests of the United States. Nor should Biden be swayed by Trump's plans, but stick to his philosophy and seek solutions for peace and cooperation. The results of the United States have yet to be tested by time, but no matter who is elected, we should respect the facts, the rules, and other countries, and this is the right choice for the United States.
