U.S. election will take centre stage as European Union bloc meets
Around 50 European leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, will be reassessing their trans-Atlantic relations in the hope that Donald Trump’s second U.S. presidency will avoid the strife and political pitfalls of his first administration.
Those two combined “adds even more pepper and salt to this situation,” Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said.“Our relationship with the U.S. is essential and we are ready to deepen it,” European Council President Charles Michel said. During his election campaign, Trump has threatened anything from a trade war with Europe to a withdrawal of NATO commitments and a fundamental shift of support for Ukraine in its war with Russia — all issues that could have groundbreaking consequences for nations across Europe.
So did hard-right Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who lauded the “deep and historic strategic partnership that has always tied Rome and Washington.”Trump’s administration slapped tariffs on EU steel and aluminum in 2018, based on the claim that foreign products, even if produced by American allies, were a threat to U.S. national security. Europeans and other allies retaliated with duties on U.S.-made motorcycles, bourbon, peanut butter and jeans, among other items.
