Whoever wins the race for the White House will be crucial to his defense.
Isolationist Trump has long criticized China and is likely to start a trade war with the country if he returns to power. Biden, however, has promised to support Taiwan if China invades, something Trump has not done.
Russia is more difficult for the former US president as there are fears that it will abandon US support for Ukraine, which Biden has fought hard to maintain.
Trump is more likely to heavily sanction Iran and withdraw the United States from a landmark nuclear deal with that country in 2018. He also oversaw the assassination of one of his top generals.
Biden has defended Israel from direct attacks by Iran and sanctioned the country’s leaders as the war in Gaza continues.
