, Joe Biden and Donald Trump are offering sharply different visions of the US role in the world, both in style and substance.
With Biden's encouragement, the US Congress has approved US$175 billion in support for Ukraine, including weapons and budgetary support. Biden paid a surprise visit to Kyiv last year and has branded Russian President Vladimir Putin a"brutal tyrant". Trump during his presidency was a staunch supporter of Israel, taking landmark steps such as moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, which Palestinians also want as their future capital.
Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, late in his term reached the"Abraham Accords" in which the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco normalised ties with Israel - the first new Arab recognition in decades.
