The U.S. presidential elections are taking place today and have garnered global attention. At the center of the race are Kamala Harris, the 59-year-old current Vice President, and Donald Trump, the 78-year-old former President. Joe Biden, 81, stepped aside to allow Harris to run, paving the way for a potential historic milestone: the election of the first female President in the U.S.

According to Professor Alcides Peron from FECAP, the outcome will impact the international order, given America's influence on the global economy and security. Trump has promised to reduce U.S. involvement in conflicts, such as those in Ukraine and the Middle East, and may restrict access for countries like Brazil to climate-related resources, such as the Amazon Fund. His election would strengthen far-right networks. Harris, on the other hand, is expected to maintain Biden's stance on climate governance but might reconsider trade agreements due to domestic pressures.

Regardless of the winner, the U.S. remains a key player in international policies. Historically innovative, American elections also shape democratic processes worldwide, as seen with the televised debates between Nixon and Kennedy and the use of social media in Obama’s campaign.
