Trump's electoral defeat and the messages for Cyprus

Following the November 2026 midterm elections, the U.S. Democratic Party secured control of both the House and Senate, delivering a significant blow to President Donald Trump. Voters expressed dissatisfaction primarily due to persistent economic pressures, including high living costs, and fatigue over foreign policy interventions such as the conflict with Iran. This result limits Trump's legislative power for the remainder of his term, sparking speculation about how this shift in Washington will impact international relations, particularly regarding the Eastern Mediterranean and Cyprus.
