Five issues at stake in US polls

ECONOMY

Trump, who cut taxes for businesses and the wealthy during his 2017-2021 presidency, plans to impose tariffs of more than 10 percent on all US imports, which he says will enable him to lower taxes for Americans.

Democrat Harris, meanwhile, is appealing to the middle class with her promise to create an "opportunity economy," while pitching moderate tax hikes for the richest people. The 60-year-old has also promoted child tax credits, support for first-time homebuyers, and help for small businesses.

IMMIGRATION

Trump has taken a hard-line approach on immigration, saying that he will order mass deportations of millions of undocumented migrants if reelected.

For her part, Harris has pledged a tough stance and warned of "consequences" for people who enter the country illegally. She has supported President Joe Biden's plan to tighten up immigration policy, notably by investing in physical barriers on the border.

ABORTION

Trump has often boasted of his role in appointing the Supreme Court justices who scrapped the 1973 decision, and has further hinted that he may restrict access to drugs used in medical abortions if reelected.

Harris wants to pass a federal law to reinstate nationwide abortion rights, making the issue a key part of her presidential campaign.

FOREIGN POLITICS

With wars raging in the Middle East and in Ukraine, Trump has promised to quickly resolve both conflicts -- though without explaining how.

He has denounced the huge amount of US funding for Kyiv since it was invaded by Russia in 2022.

Harris has pledged her enduring support for Ukraine if reelected. Both Trump and Harris offer continued backing for Israel, though the vice president has drawn more attention to the suffering of Palestinians.

CLIMATE

The United States is the world's second-biggest greenhouse gas emitter behind China, but neither candidate has outlined a comprehensive platform on the issue.

Trump, who has long denounced climate change as a "hoax" despite overwhelming scientific evidence, plans to cut subsidies for renewable energies and electric vehicles, which he says harm businesses.

Harris has promoted the "Inflation Reduction Act" of President Joe Biden, which has driven investment in green energy.
