US voters will choose their president. But the president's actions will have repercussions around the world. Therefore, from the use of marijuana to the views of the candidates on immigration or foreign affairs, the United States and the outside world have eyes.
The position of Kamala and Donald on various issues and their policies on those issues have been highlighted in this article.
price inflation
Kamala Harris said her priority from day one would be to reduce the cost of food and housing for working families.
He promised to stop the trend of excessive pricing of daily commodities. He also talked about providing assistance to first-time home buyers and incentives in the housing sector.
Inflation has been on the rise under Biden. However, post-Covid supply shortages and the war in Ukraine have also affected European countries. However, inflation has subsequently declined in those countries.
Trump promises to reduce inflation and bring everything within people's purchasing power. In his words, 'Make America Affordable Again'.
When asked, he said, increasing the drilling for oil will reduce the price of fuel.
He also promised to reduce interest rates. However, the President does not have the power to regulate interest rates.
Trump also believes that sending illegal immigrants back will reduce the pressure on housing.
Apart from this, he has hinted at imposing higher rates of tax on imported goods. Economists say, as a result, commodity prices may rise.
do
Kamala Harris wants to raise taxes on big businesses and Americans who earn more than $400,000 a year.
However, to reduce the tax burden of a family, he also said to have a system of tax exemption against children.
Harris also disagrees with Biden's tax on wealth accumulation.
Trump has also proposed massive tax cuts. It is said to be an extension of his 2017 tax cut policy, which mostly helped the wealthy.
He said he would be able to make up for the reduction in income from tax cuts with higher growth and import tariffs.
Analysts believe that both plans will increase the economic deficit. However, under Trump, it will increase more.
Abortion
Kamala Harris has put abortion rights at the center of her campaign. She advocates uniform reproductive rights protection laws for the entire country.
Trump is struggling to stay consistent on the issue of abortion. The constitutional right to abortion was struck down by three justices appointed during his time on the Supreme Court.
immigration
Kamala Harris was tasked with handling the crisis on the southern border of the United States. He was instrumental in raising billions of dollars in grants, investing locally to stem the flow northward.
By the end of 2023, a record number of people entered from Mexico, but the numbers continued to decline.
As he touts his stance on his campaign, Harris also recalls his fight against human traffickers as a lawyer in California.
Trump wants to complete the construction of the border wall this time. Along with this, he is promising to deploy more members of the security forces to secure the border.
But he urged Republicans not to be part of any cross-party legislation involving tougher immigration policies, such as Harris' initiative.
Harris said, if elected, he would try to find a compromise.
Trump has vowed to carry out the largest deportation of illegal immigrants in US history. He will send the illegal residents back to their country en masse.
Experts told the BBC the initiative could face legal challenges.
foreign policy
Kamala Harris has pledged to support Ukraine as long as it needs. If elected, he also promises that the United States, not China, will win the race for the 21st century.
He has long been vocal in favor of the Israel-Palestine two-state solution. Gaza has been calling for an end to the war.
Trump's stance on foreign policy is 'go it alone', i.e. isolationism. He wants to keep the United States out of conflicts in other parts of the world.
He said that Ukraine will end the war within 24 hours through an agreement with Russia. Democrats claim the move will strengthen Vladimir Putin.
Trump has stated his position as a staunch supporter of Israel. But he has not been heard to say anything specific about how to end the Gaza war.
trade
Kamala Harris criticizes Trump's plan to raise tariffs on imports. According to him, this would in effect impose a new tax on working people, which would cost a family about $4,000 more a year.
Kamala wants to move forward with a more specific target in imposing taxes on imports.
Kamla Harris will also follow suit, which has already been imposed by the Biden administration on imports of certain products such as electric cars from China.
Tariffs have been at the center of Trump's campaign promises. He intends to impose a new tariff of 10 to 20 percent on most foreign goods. And in case of Chinese products the rate will be higher.
Trump has promised to cut corporate taxes to encourage companies to make goods in the United States.
the climate
As Joe Biden's vice-president, Harris was instrumental in promoting deflationary legislation. The passage of this legislation will provide huge financial incentives to the renewable energy and electric vehicle sector.
However, Kamla has backed away from opposition to oil and gas extraction through 'fracking' mining. Environmentalists are against this approach.
On the other hand, Trump has withdrawn many environmental protection initiatives during his time in the White House. One such initiative withdrawn is to limit carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and vehicles.
In this year's campaign, if elected, he is promising to expand North Pole mining for fuel and is aggressively talking about the production of electric cars.
Kamala Harris has called for the legalization of recreational marijuana use.
According to him, many people have gone to jail just for carrying marijuana. He also pointed to the numerical disparity in arrests of black and Latino citizens.
Trump has softened his approach.
He said it was time to "stop the unnecessary arrests and jailings" for carrying small amounts of marijuana for personal use.
