00:00The United States is about to elect a new president, but for people in the UK specifically,
00:04our government and that of the USA have always had a special relationship, meaning our goals
00:08are often aligned and our approaches to foreign policy are often similar.
00:11Now the reason that this election in particular is so important is because of what the success
00:15of Trump would mean for the UK.
00:17It's pretty clear already that he and Stalmer won't be the best of friends, but more importantly
00:20than that, the suggestion from the Trump camp is that he would pull funding from the war
00:23in Ukraine, allowing Russia car plans to ravage the region.
00:26Kamala Harris is his opponent and represents something close to a continuation of the Biden
00:30administration, which has had its fair share of criticism but will be a bit more of a continuation
00:34of the classic style of democracy for the US, whereas Trump is campaigning behind something
00:38called Project 2025, which essentially bring all independent branches of the US government
00:42under his direct control.
00:44That removes any chance of people interfering with the Trump administration's stated goals
00:48of controlling the accessibility of books in schools, limiting the sale of abortion
00:51pills, removing words relating to homosexuality from any form of education.
00:55It will certainly be a substantial change for the USA, but we'll find out which way
00:58they've voted in the next couple of days.
