Donald Trump had turbulent relations with America’s European allies in his first term as president.
A backdrop to the congratulatory words was a worry among many European leaders about the impact of a Donald Trump return to the White House on the wider world.PARIS – French President Emmanuel Macron and other EU leaders congratulated Donald Trump after he claimed victory in the Nov 5 US presidential election, saying they are ready to work together but would defend Europe’s interests.
Given turbulent transatlantic relations in Trump’s previous term, his past strong criticism of Nato, his ambivalent view of Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s invasion and stance on climate change, many European officials said ahead of the election they were worried about a win for Trump.“Congratulations, President Donald Trump. Ready to work together as we did for four years,” Mr Macron said on X. “With your convictions and mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity.
Alongside foreign policy, European trade could face a bumpy ride: Trump said in October that the European Union would have to “pay a big price” for not buying enough American exports if he won the election.Trump has said he will impose a 10 per cent tariff on imports from all countries, and 60 per cent duties on imports from China.
Barclays has warned of possible “high single-digit” percentage drops in European earnings should trade conflicts reignite.
