International online: According to the Christian Science Monitor, November 4, in the recently concluded U.S. mid-term elections, the Republican Party swept the House of Control and a number of key committees to regain leadership. This change of power is bound to affect U.S. foreign policy and the relationship between the United States and some of the world's most important countries. The Christian Science Monitor has counted the likely impact of the Republican victory on relations with China, Iran, Cuba, Afghanistan and Israel. 1. Eric Cantor, the Israeli Virginia State Republican, is expected to become the majority leader of the House of Representatives, a Jew and the most staunch supporter of Israel in Congress, and has accused the Obama administration of pressuring Israel in the Middle East peace talks. In the spring of 2009, after a dispute over settlement construction between the United States and Israel, Cantor said it was dangerous for U.S. security. Another key figure was Havana-born Cuban-Americans, the Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Ilhanna Ross-Retinheim, who had a large Jewish presence in her constituency. Ross Retinheim is likely to stop the US from further pressuring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to make concessions. 2. After Iran's Republican control of the House of Representatives, it will again seek tougher sanctions against Iran, two Republican lawmakers will become pioneers. Ilhanna Ross Retinheim, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has been advocating a tough line against Iran, and she may be proposing new and tougher sanctions. Howard Bermain, a former chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, supported Mr Obama's sanctions as a last resort. and Ross Retinheim denounced the Obama administration's feeble attempt to talk to Tehran, which she said on the October 2009 "politicians" website: "There is absolutely no sign that Iran is willing to come to some sort of agreement with us that they are delaying time to cover their illegal nuclear activities under the pretext of negotiations." "3. China's trade dispute with the US could change as Wisconsin State Democratic senator, Fane, is defeated. Feingold is critical of the Free-trade agreement and argues that export controls in countries such as China and India are too lax. The Washington Post, in its analysis of how the midterm elections will affect the U.S.-China relationship, says the Republican-majority House of Representatives will end the DPJ's protectionist policy against the country, which will be supported by people dissatisfied with the U.S. economy. A briefing by the Foreign Affairs Committee shows that pending trade protection legislation could hurt diplomatic relations between the United States and China. The opposition to protectionist Republicans will help strengthen economic relations between the two countries. 4. Ilhanna Ross Retinheim, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives of the Cuban Parliament, has great influence over the Cuban-American electorate in Florida State, and she has a deep hatred for the Cuban regime. She is likely to use her influence to undermine the Obama administration's efforts to strengthen dialogue and improve relations with Cuba, particularly in areas such as easing sanctions and relaxing other restrictions. South Florida StateRepublicans have always been tough on U.S.-American relations because they have long been supported by Cuban-Americans. The victory of Marco Robbio, the Republican of South Roverida, who represents the exiled Cubans, will make Ross Retinheim's voice in the Senate louder. 5. Many of the country's Republicans oppose the Obama administration's plan to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, and say it is premature to withdraw and the United States has not yet fully reached the target of the war. The size of the Afghan garrison could change after the Republicans take power. Former presidential candidate John McCain, who re-elected Senator Arizona, State in the mid-term elections, has made clear his opposition to Obama's plans to reduce the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan. As a Republican in the Senate Armed Services Committee, McCain is likely to take the lead in overthrowing the plan. McCain's actions could be supported by members of the House Military Committee and Congressman McCain of California.
