How the rest of the world views the US presidential election

The World
Several people are shown standing near and one person watching a TV screen showing the US presidential debate.

The last presidential debate Thursday focused extensively on foreign policy topics. The World’s foreign correspondents share global reactions and what they’re seeing abroad in the buildup to the Nov. 3 US election. And, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia on Friday. It’s the latest attempt to find a solution to nearly a month of fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh. Also, when is a burger not a burger? That’s a practical question facing the European Parliament in a discussion Friday about whether plant-based alternatives can use names typically associated with meat.
