A bipartisan view of the 2020 election and its impact on U.S. foreign policy

Democratic nominee for president Joe Biden and Republican incumbent Donald Trump are preparing foreign policy platforms in the final months of the 2020 election cycle.

What are the major points of tension between the Republican and Democratic candidates? Should either party be elected, what would the U.S. policy toward Asia look like under each administration? Will U.S. trade and economic policies towards Japan see significant changes? How about trade policy for other parts of East Asia? How will U.S.-Japan relations change?

Joseph Kim, Senator Norm Coleman, Kelly Ann Shaw, Jonathan Stoel, and Ivan Zapien shared bipartisan views of the 2020 election and its impact on foreign policy.
