There are reviews among the Myanmar political circles regarding how it would impact on Myanmar politics if Donald Trump won the US presidential election and formed the government.
The US presidential election will be held in November to come. Former President Donald Trump as the Republican presidential candidate and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris will run for the presidential election.
If Donald Trump was elected President, the US would stop its hostility to Myanmar, Dr. Aung Myo, a Myanmar political commentator, told CNI News.

" It would impact on Myanmar a lot if Trump was elected president. As soon as Trump came to power, the US's hostility to Myanmar would stop. If the Myanmar side treated the US well, the US possibly would help prevent the influence of China. But Myanmar won't ask the US for help directly because Myanmar probably would be like Crimea or Ukraine. And then, the US wouldn't support the NUG. As soon as it stops supporting the NUG, the Tatmadaw could gather strength to attack in northern Shan State." he said.
The US Senate approved the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would help revolutionary elements with technology and non-military equipment on 15th December 2023.
Myanmar's affairs must be decided by the Myanmar people and any other country could not, Dr. Hla Kyaw Zaw, a Myanmar political commentator, told CNI News.
" It's our Myanmar people who will have to decide the Myanmar's affairs. Myanmar people have two decisions. One is not to negotiate with the Tatmadaw. Next, when we fight, one organization alone can't fight. All must fight together. In this way, we'll go on." she said.

Whoever becomes the President of the United States, they would carry out to block China, U Sein Win, former member of the Pyithu Hluttaw, told CNI News.
"Whoever becomes president, in my opinion, they will block China and make US more powerful. China also has ambitions to establish Chinese yuan in southeast Asia to counter the dominations of the US including dollar. China's latest great projects gradually narrows the area for the US kind of." he said.
According to the Myanmar's political landscape that changed on 1st February 2021, the US imposed several sanctions on Myanmar and has taken actions against some leaders of the Myanmar Tatmadaw. Moreover, it has meetings and discussions with some leaders of armed groups fighting against the Myanmar Tatmadaw.
