💨 Abstract

In a recent shift, the U.S. State Department announced it will limit comments on overseas elections unless it aligns with U.S. foreign policy interests. Under President Donald Trump's administration, the department will prioritize respect for national sovereignty, avoiding critiques of electoral fairness or legitimacy. Instead, comments will be brief, congratulatory, and focused on shared foreign policy interests. This change marks a departure from decades of U.S.
