A Republican victory would also most likely lead to a major push to open up many more energy-exploration opportunities within America, which Obama has stymied. Romney has promised tougher negotiations on trade and currency with China, but is generally far more likely to push new trade agreements than the labor-supported Obama administration.
共和党的胜利还会导致大规模开放美国国内的能源勘探机会，而奥巴马是抵制这一点的。罗姆尼还承诺将就贸易和货币问题和中国展开更强硬的谈判，但总的来说，与支持美国劳动力的奥巴马政府相比，共和党更有可能与中国达成新的贸易协定。不过，如果民主党仍能保持对参议院的控制，则共和党要在这方面取得成就将变得很难。共和党总统还能任命众多关键的决策性职位，比如美联储主席、财政部部长以及监管机构首脑。
