Trump likely to lash out in foreign policy if Democrats take Congress, warns ex-US ambassador to EU

Anthony Gardner, former US ambassador to the EU, warns that Europeans expecting improved US relations with a Democratic Congress may be disappointed. He emphasizes that foreign relations are primarily managed by the executive branch, suggesting little change in US policy regardless of midterm election outcomes. Gardner notes that the elections serve as a referendum on the Trump administration, addressing issues like fuel prices and healthcare. He also cautions that a Democratic Congress could lead Trump to adopt a more radical foreign policy, as presidents often shift focus to foreign affairs when they lose legislative control.
