Donald Trump's return to the White House may impact the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad), but a bipartisan consensus in the US is expected to maintain its significance.
The Quad, originally formed to provide humanitarian assistance, has evolved into a key security framework among the US, Australia, Japan, and India, especially against China’s growing influence.
Despite uncertainties, experts predict that the Quad will continue high-level summits and cooperation in security and intelligence during Trump's second term.
Concerns have been raised about Trump's potential isolationist policies, which might put pressure on Quad members to prioritize US interests.
There are ongoing discussions regarding the future of the Quad, with prospects of it evolving further or facing challenges in practical operations and cohesion.
