The EU is not deluding itself about the Republican defeat and fears Trump's reaction

The EU remains cautious after the recent US midterm elections, fearing Trump's unpredictable reactions. While some hope for increased support for Ukraine from a Democratic Congress, concerns persist about potential conflicts between Congress and the White House. EU officials emphasize the need for Europe to strengthen its own position regardless of US politics. The Democratic victory is seen as a chance for better support for Ukraine, but the long-term impact on transatlantic relations remains uncertain. European leaders are wary of Trump's possible foreign policy maneuvers as he seeks validation amid domestic challenges.
