Republican President-elect Donald Trump says he plans to fundamentally alter the US relationship with Nato during his second four-year term and rapidly bring the war in Ukraine to a close. On the campaign trail, he floated sending armed forces into Mexico to battle drug cartels and slapping expansive tariffs on friends and foes alike.

Here is a look at the foreign policy proposals Trump has pledged to advance once he takes office on Jan. 20:

Nato, Ukraine and European allies

Trump has said that under his presidency, America will fundamentally rethink "Nato's purpose and Nato's mission." He has pledged to ask Europe to reimburse the US for "almost $200 billion" in munitions sent to Ukraine, and he has not committed to sending further aid to the eastern European nation. Trump cut defence funding to Nato during the latter part of his first term, and he has frequently complained America was paying more than its fair share.
