🇺🇸 Donald Trump · 🇮🇹 Giorgia Meloni
The slap at Trump makes Brussels and Meloni breathe a sigh of relief
What happened
The defeat of Donald Trump in the US midterms is seen as a relief for Italy and the European Union, as Trump's foreign policy had been critical of the EU and had converged with Russia's views on the EU. Trump's presidency had also opened fronts against the EU on issues such as tariffs, Ukraine, and oil agreements with Russia. The result is expected to lead to a shift in US policy, with the new Congress not supporting Ukraine's sell-out to Putin.
Why it matters
The outcome has significant implications for the EU's relationship with the US, particularly on issues related to Ukraine, NATO, and the Middle East. The shift in US policy is expected to have a positive impact for the EU, allowing for continued US aid and cooperation on various fronts. The EU's position on Ukraine is likely to be supported by the new US Congress.
