Will Trump help European conservatives push back on the Green deal?

Today Radio Schuman looks at how US President Donald Trump policies on climate could impact on the EU with Euronews reporter Robert Hodgson.

Last week, Trump’s stance on climate and energy had ripple effects in Europe, particularly among the far-right Patriots for Europe and the centre-right European People's Party (EPP) in the European Parliament.

Jordan Bardella of the Rassemblement National called for the EU's Green Deal to be suspended, claiming it harms farming, the car industry, and energy policies.

Meanwhile, the EPP, the largest European Parliament party, has intensified efforts to roll back key Green Deal legislation.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk echoed these sentiments, urging a critical review of Green Deal laws and warning that expanding the Emission Trading System could drive up energy prices.
