In the latest edition of State of the Union, Ursula von der Leyen and Roberta Metsola have been reelected, and the U.S. presidential campaign has taken a dramatic turn. Metsola and von der Leyen were confirmed in office, with Metsola expressing her emotional connection to Europe. Meanwhile, in Brussels, the EU Commission faced the aftermath of an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, causing shockwaves throughout the corridors of power. The attempt has disrupted the presidential campaign, with the Republican Party now more confident of winning in November.
Experts are discussing the potential implications of a Trump victory on U.S.-EU relations and emphasizing the need for European leaders to step up their efforts in preparation. The focus is also on potential vice president JD Vance, who is known for his skepticism of U.S. support for Ukraine and prioritization of China and Taiwan in foreign policy.
As the campaign unfolds, questions arise regarding the unity between Trump and Biden and the future of U.S. foreign policy. European leaders are urged to prepare for a possible radical shift in U.S. foreign policy under a second Trump administration, which could have far-reaching implications for transatlantic relations. The situation remains fluid, and experts warn of the need for European leaders to be proactive in adjusting to potential policy shocks in the aftermath of the U.S. presidential election.
