“Divided America” can be called the main risk of 2021. This is stated in the report of experts from the consulting company Eurasia Group.
According to analysts, President-elect Joe Biden will run a country where about half of the population will consider him an illegitimate president. The second problem to be faced is the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, for example, large public debts, mass layoffs and mistrust of the authorities. In addition, experts suggest that the introduction of vaccines will widen the gap between the haves and have-nots.
The third problem on the list is the fight against climate change. According to analysts, global cooperation in this area could be replaced by competition. The key risks of the year were also deemed to be increased tensions in relations between China and the United States, possible conflicts in cyberspace, problems in the Turkish economy and the weakening of the economies of the Middle East due to low oil prices.
On November 3, 2020, the next presidential elections were held in the United States. The counting of votes and the proceedings on this issue are still ongoing. According to the media, Biden received the necessary number of electoral votes to win, thus surpassing the current American leader Donald Trump. The democrat has already proclaimed himself the elected president of the United States. Trump, in turn, said that Biden was in a hurry to call himself the country's new leader.
