WASHINGTON, Nov 3, (AP): For four years, the world’s nations have watched as a very different American president engages with the international community – or doesn’t. Longtime alliances have been strained, agreements wiped away, tariffs erected, funding withdrawn. Some nations have been the objects of presidential derision. Others, like North Korea, have been on the receiving end of diplomatic overtures once considered unthinkable.

For countries around the planet, the presidency of Donald Trump in its first term has been, it is safe to say, a singular experience to watch. Now that an inflection point in Trump’s time in office is at hand with Tuesday’s US election, what’s at stake if his presidency ends – or if it continues? Nation by nation, how is Election Day in the United States being watched, considered, assessed? Stay tuned to this file as Associated Press correspondents from around the world weigh in throughout US Election Day with insight and analysis about how their regions view what’s happening in the United States – and what the various stakes might be.
