EU priorities to remain firm
The European Commission stated that Donald Trump’s re-election will not alter the EU’s political priorities, according to spokesperson Eric Mamer. He emphasized that, despite potential shifts in U.S. policy, the EU will continue advancing its own agenda, as outlined by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Highlighting the EU’s position as an economic powerhouse of 450 million citizens, Mamer noted that European priorities, such as support for Ukraine and climate action, will endure. He added that while certain areas may require adjustment based on U.S. direction, it is premature to discuss specifics ahead of the new administration's official start.
Mamer affirmed the resilience of the U.S.-EU partnership, pointing to the strong historical and economic ties that will support ongoing cooperation regardless of political changes.
