On November 5, U.S. voters re-elected President Donald Trump for a second and final term. They also elected Republican majorities in the United States Senate and in the House of Representatives.

Over and above this, the tone and policies that Congress adopts can have ripple effects across the continent and the broader geopolitical landscape.
