The Impact of Biden’s Victory on the Middle East Economy

The Impact of Biden’s Victory on the Middle East Economy

PEJOURNAL - With Biden elected president of the United States, some Middle Eastern countries have been locked up. Israel-U.S. relations, which were influenced by the warm relations between Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will no longer continue under Biden, and Saudi Arabia is likely to face increased congressional oversight of the country's human rights issues. Leaders of Middle Eastern countries also know very well that Biden's vision does not necessarily have in common with their approaches. But regardless of the political consequences, the Middle East must wait for the economic gains from Biden's victory," Amjad…

Biden’s national security and foreign policy team

Biden’s national security and foreign policy team

Under the circumstances, expect Biden to not retreat from America’s endless wars. It will also sit once again at the head of the United Nations Security Council table releasing sanctions resolutions to confront sovereign nations with much needed help from Western allies, ready to stand…

Biden wants to recover the Iranian nuclear deal (JCPOA) but it’s not that simple

BY:  Paolo Mauri Translated BY: Costantino Ceoldo PEJOURNAL - In the electoral program of Joe Biden, president-elect (for now) of the United States, there is the desire to recover the Iranian nuclear deal, the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) wanted by Barack Obama in 2015 and rejected by Donald Trump in May 2018. The treaty was aimed at ensuring that Iranian nuclear development was solely and exclusively aimed at peaceful ends, thus allowing the gradual withdrawal of international sanctions that have almost strangled the country's economy. However, for the United States, re-entering the stretch may not be so simple…

What does Joe Biden’s presidency mean for America’s role in the world?

BY: Atlantic Council PEJOURNAL - We finally have a winner. After several days of counting votes, former Vice President Joe Biden has defeated President Donald J. Trump in the US presidential election, after the Associated Press called Pennsylvania for the former vice president on November 7.  While Biden may have to contend with a divided Congress to achieve his many domestic priorities, he will have much more power to shape US foreign policy going forward. “Under a Biden presidency, the United States will shift from a ‘with or without us’ approach to a policy that fundamentally believes the United States can achieve more when we work together with partner nations,” Jason Marczak, director of…

Trump or Biden; Looking inside is the only solution to problems

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - In the run-up to the US presidential election, some think that if Joe Biden wins, sanctions will be lifted and the dollar will fall, but if Trump stays in the White House, conditions will escalate, makes it much harder for Iran.

Biden Roadmap for Iran; Trump Strategy, Obama Tactics

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - US presidential and congressional elections are scheduled. At the moment, Biden's position, policy and roadmap towards Iran can also be attractive to Iranian audiences. So far, however, more than 60 million people have cast their ballots. Democratic candidate Joe Biden has been ahead of his Republican rival, Donald Trump, on paper. However, the experience of previous elections in the United States suggests that polls alone cannot predict a definite election victory.
