Deep dives
Trump's Second Administration and Its Implications for Europe
The new phase of Trump's administration exhibits a notable shift towards political coherence and a focused agenda, moving away from the chaos of his first term. Key elements from his previous term, such as protectionism and disdain for multilateralism, reemerge with increased determination, indicating a potential for new transatlantic tensions. This protectionist stance raises concerns about a possible trade war between the US and Europe, especially considering the current fragility of the euro, which may make it easier for Trump to exploit divisions within Europe. Additionally, the implications of Trump's foreign policy approach signal a challenging landscape for European diplomacy, where cooperation may become more complex as he seeks to redefine international alliances.
