The United States’ foreign policy decisions, in the run-up to the US presidential elections on Nov 3, might well leave the world in a bit of a mess and should President Donald Trump return to the White House, the world order could become dire in the coming years, veteran observers of US foreign policy said at a forum here.

Professor Michael Brown and Dr Bates Gill expressed these views at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) Distinguished Public Dialogue on US Foreign Policy in a Time of Turmoil at Home and Abroad, held at NTU @ one-north on Thursday.
