Next week's election showdown: Trump and Harris clash on major US policies

Next weeks presidential election puts Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in a head-to-head match-up that shows clear policy differences between the two candidates

The immigration topic remains a hot-button issue: Trump promises day-one border closure and the biggest-ever deportation plan (which got lots of support at recent campaign events). Meanwhile Harris supports a bi-partisan border deal and green-card reforms for undocumented spouses – but dont expect quick fixes

On Ukraine matters Trump talks about one-day peace deals while maintaining good relations with both sides; Harris has met with Volodymyr Zelensky seven times and pushes for continued support. Their views on foreign-policy show a clear split: Trump focuses on America-first ideas while Harris backs international partnerships

The economy shows different approaches too. Trump wants up-to 60% tariffs on Chinese imports and supports his 2017 tax-cuts extension; Harris aims to raise corporate taxes to 28% and change inheritance rules. Both promise no new taxes for middle-class families

Climate-change policies differ big-time: Trump plans to remove green-deal rules and increase drilling on his first day; Harris supports renewable-energy tax-credits and electric-vehicle initiatives. Their Israel-Gaza positions share some common ground – both back strong support for Israel but Harris speaks more about civilian casualties

The abortion debate highlights another split: Trump leaves it to individual states (meaning some places like Florida would have six-week limits)‚ while Harris backs nationwide access. Their approaches to these key issues paint very different pictures for Americas future
