the article is devoted to analyzing the impact of the 2024 U.S. presidential election on the country’s foreign policy course. The focus is on the interconnection between domestic political processes, such as political polarization, social divisions, and the election campaign, and their reflection in international strategy. The approaches of the two main parties – Democrats and Republicans – to addressing current foreign policy challenges, including the Ukraine crisis, U.S.-China confrontation, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, are explored. The aim of the study is to analyze the influence of party strategy transformations, candidate rhetoric, and internal pressures on shaping the key directions of U.S. foreign policy. Democrats emphasize multilateral diplomacy, strengthening the role of international organizations, and supporting environmental initiatives, while Republicans focus on protectionism, reducing international commitments, and strengthening national interests. The article employs methods of analyzing political statements, party platforms, sociological surveys, and international documents such as NATO declarations. The authors examine how internal conflicts influence foreign policy decisions and serve as a tool for mobilizing the electorate. Particular attention is paid to how the rhetoric of candidates reflects U.S. policy on the global stage. The study demonstrates that domestic processes, including growing polarization and the use of foreign policy issues in the election campaign, significantly influence the country’s strategic priorities. Foreign policy becomes not only a tool for addressing international challenges but also a means of overcoming internal contradictions. The work highlights that the 2024 election plays a key role in determining the future direction of the United States in global politics.

the changes that globalization has brought to international relations cannot be ignored. First of all, this is due to scientific and technological progress, in which Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a special role. Unique developments are used in the fields of healthcare, corporate management and information warfare. And this is only part of the areas where AI is involved. And the more often humanity resorts to AI, the more ethical questions it raises. In this article, the author sets out to analyze what approaches to the moral component of AI already exist in international relations. The conclusions that the author comes to indicate that there is progress related to the discussion of AI ethics issues at different levels. However, all the documents developed are mostly advisory in nature. There is also no unification of different approaches into a single whole. The center of moral narratives is primarily about the protection of humans, their personal data, transparency associated with AI developments, and preventing the use of these technologies in wars. That is, everything that we call human security.
