If Trump is elected, the implications for Europe will go well beyond the issues of Ukraine and European security. The Trump administration will challenge European policymakers across a range of issues: from China to trade, climate to the Middle East.

Trump’s re-election might well embolden the populist right in Europe to obstruct common EU policies and initiatives more forcefully.
