Republican Donald Trump stunned the world by defeating heavily favored Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House. Trump’s victory ended eight years of Democratic rule and sends the United States on a new, uncertain path.

Trump’s win also raises many questions for the United States at home and abroad. Trump campaigned on a pledge to take the U.S. on a more isolationist, protectionist “America First” path. He also promised to impose a 35 percent tariff on goods exported to the United States by American companies that went abroad.

Both candidates, albeit Trump more than Clinton, had historically low popularity ratings in an election that many voters characterized as a choice between two unpleasant alternatives.
