Donald Trump President : What future for the relationships between the USA and Europe
21/12/2024
On January 20th 2025, Donald Trump will for a second time sit behind the Oval office. What will be the consequences of this new mandate on the transatlantic relationships ? Obviously, we can't skip the economic measures that aim for huge taxes against imports, especially from the European Union.
« I'm gonna impose a tariff on the outside world, and they gotta pay it for their privilege of coming in and robbing our jobs and robbing our companies.» → Donald J. Trump
Indeed, the former president doesn't seem to bear in his heart international trade. And this will unavoidably impact our country. The USA are the 4th most important French customer, and in 2023, France has sold to the world's biggest power for a total of 45 billion euros.
However, many measures will probably be taken in a military viewpoint, with a lot of impacts on the political stability of the continent.Of course, there is the decrease of the backing to Ukraine. He pretends be able to "stop the war in a day", which means certainly let Russian authorities win the conflict. Many say that if Ukraine loose the war, it will strengthen Poutine's influence on the region and his desire to go further. But according to some specialists, the Russian President has not enough military capabilities to do it. As the journalist Natacha Polony says, the stake for the European Union is to keep a stable economy and to not spend too much in the war in Ukraine.
