Lame duck or angry duck? Europe’s leadership largely silent on Trump’s election disaster, fearing backlash

In light of the recent US elections, Ukraine's President Zelensky expressed concerns about America's declining influence in global affairs, while supporting Germany and Europe. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas emphasized the need for continued US support for Ukraine and pressure on Russia. The Democrats' significant congressional gains, with 54 Senate and 228 House seats, challenge Trump's foreign policy approach. Despite Trump's influence, the new Congress may have limited power over his foreign policy decisions, as he remains aligned with pro-Putin and anti-EU sentiments.
