ARA | Alarms are sounding in Europe: Trump is moving towards the White House

Apart from defence, the United States is also the European Union’s main trading partner and, at the same time, one of its major competitors. Joe Biden’s administration, despite not flagging protectionism like Trump, has already carried out multimillion-dollar macro-aid to attract new factories in the US, which is to the detriment of European industry. Of course, as the spokesman for the Friends of Europe think tank, Dharmendra Kanani, points out, such measures would be accentuated even more with a second term of the Republican tycoon, who “has no interest in being a partner of the EU”.
