Europe comes to terms with Donald Trump's victory

16 November 2024
International Policy Digest
Ian Bond, deputy director of the Centre for European Reform, reflected on the potential trajectory of US-European relations under Trump’s second term. “In Trump’s first term he had a number of ‘traditional’ Republicans in key positions around him, able to steer his foreign policy at least to some extent. It seems likely that in his second term there will be fewer restraints on him. Given his stated views on NATO and the EU, that poses serious risks for Europe’s security and prosperity.”

Trump's return springs a critical choice on Europe

16 November 2024
Financial Times
The US has so far provided some $60bn in weaponry and ammunition since February 2022 and the Europeans a similar amount (although more in financial aid). The Europeans can surely afford to do more. If they don’t have the budgetary space, they should think of other ways of raising the money, such as common EU debt or loans to national capitals from the European Stability Mechanism, the eurozone’s rescue fund. (See this Centre for European Reform analysis of the options.)

Mandelson’s plan to charm Trump as UK’s ambassador – and why Brexit could wreck it

14 November 2024
iNews
Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform, said: “[Mandelson] would be very good, he understands trade. The Blairites when they were running the country managed to be pro-EU and Atlanticist at the same time – it was the hallmark of Jonathan Powell, Peter Mandelson, David Miliband and Tony Blair.“It is going to be more difficult to do that now than it was when Bill Clinton and George Bush Jr were in power. The danger for Labour is that Trump quite likes Britain but less so the EU.

Trump ei Centre for European Reform -ajatushautomon (CER) tuoreen raportin mukaan näe Natoa niinkään Yhdysvaltojen asemaa vahvistavana koalitiona, vaan pikemminkin instituutiona, jota liittolaiset käyttävät hyödyntääkseen USA:n suomia turvatakuita ja voidakseen samalla tinkiä omista puolustuspanostuksistaan.
