This page is about important trends that will affect the future of the world

U.S. Politics

America is at war with itself on a litany of issues. The 2020 election will likely hinge on a handful of them, including impeachment, trade policy, equality, healthcare and the broad-based economy. As of this writing, an impeachment trial of President Donald Trump is pending in the Senate. The impeachment will not be a focus of this article.
U.S. elections are often decided based on the momentum of the U.S. economy, and no issue is more important for Trump’s reelection campaign. U.S. GNP is expected to grow a moderate 2% in 2020, the eleventh year of the recovery and the longest in history.
But with COVID, the economy have not been doing well. There has been an increase in unemployment rate.

Now the US is more divided than ever since BLack Lives Matter protest. There has been debates and more people are choosing side - left or right. This is also bringing people together, bringing problems to the light.

Immigration

Perhaps more than any other issue, immigration policy has been a lightning rod for President Trump. The U.S. allows roughly one million immigrants every year, more than the UK, France and Italy combined.
