Budapest, Hungary): Trump's return to America has created panic among the leaders of the European Union. The European Union fears that Trump's stance may be against Europe in many matters. In such a situation, after the call of France and Germany to unite, 50 European leaders held a meeting. After this, now 27 countries have announced to hold summit talks soon. About 50 European leaders, including Ukrainian President Zelensky and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, will assess the impact on relations after Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election.
Making an already complex economic situation more difficult, Europe's economic superpower Germany has been plunged into a political crisis after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz fired his finance minister. The development raises fears of elections in a few months and another standoff between the far right and major political parties in Europe. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that these two incidents together have made the situation more serious. However, the impact of the US presidential election is yet to be felt.
What is the stance of the European Council
European Council chief Charles Michel said, “Our relationship with the United States is important and we stand ready to deepen it.” Shortly after the leaders of Britain, Turkey and the Balkan countries left in the evening, the European Union (EU )'s 27 countries will hold a separate summit. During his election campaign, Trump talked about everything from a trade war with Europe to withdrawing North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) commitments and fundamental changes in his support for Ukraine in the war with Russia – all of which Can bring revolutionary results for the countries of Europe. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, the summit host and Trump admirer, said Thursday morning that he had spoken by phone with Trump the night before, declaring that “we have big plans for the future!”
Georgia Melona's statement also came
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni praised the deep and historic strategic partnership that unites Rome and Washington. This partnership remained under constant pressure during Trump's first term, from 2017 to 2021. The previous Trump administration had imposed tariffs on EU steel and aluminum in 2018 based on claims that foreign products threatened US national security. Europeans and other allies retaliated by imposing tariffs on American-made motorcycles, bourbon whiskey, peanut butter and jeans, among other goods. The impact of the US election result could be felt in Europe for years to come, with wars in Ukraine and West Asia, as well as issues such as migration and climate change. Zelensky was also among the leaders attending the conference on Thursday. He is expected to appeal for more aid to protect his country from Russian invasion. The timing is significant because Trump has pledged to end the war “within 24 hours” of being elected. (AP)
