WHAT A TRUMP VICTORY WOULD MEAN FOR EUROPE

Sir Michael Leigh, a Senior Fellow at the German Marshall Fund of the United States and a former European Commission Director-General recently wrote a piece on the ‘ Implications of a Trump presidency for Europe’. He says that Donald Trump’s election would have grave consequences for Europe, that a President Trump would disrupt transatlantic relations, that he distrusts allies, sees them as free-riders and questions the most basic NATO principle that an attack on one is an attack on all.
