EU's Uncertain Future Post-Budapest Summit

The European Union faces a precarious situation following the Budapest summit, particularly due to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, which has been a central focus of EU efforts. The election results in the United States have added to their challenges, leading to a sense of panic among EU leaders who feel their strategies have failed. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban has emerged as a more competent voice, highlighting the EU's miscalculations and the diminishing influence of the U.S. in European affairs. As uncertainty looms over Project Ukraine, many EU leaders are grappling with the possibility of navigating this situation independently, a daunting task without American support.
