Trump election: Danger for NATO? Europe has to save itself!

NATO, Europa - A political earthquake is imminent! Should Donald Trump be elected President again on Tuesday, the devastating consequences for NATO and the European allies could have. The prominent Greek-American journalist and political commentator George Stephanopoulos warns: "The Europeans will have to take care of their security themselves." He said these alarming words in an interview with Kathimerini, shortly before the decisive elections on November 5th.

Stephanopoulos emphasizes that Trump evaluates NATO differently than its predecessors. "He made it clear that he does not estimate the alliance to the extent that other American presidents did," he explains. The journalist refers to Trump's conspicuous admiration for autocratic leaders such as Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping as well as his close relationship with dictators such as Kim Jong Un and Viktor Orban. "We will experience a completely different direction of American foreign policy," continued Stephanopoulos.

The immediate consequences of this possible turn could be catastrophic for Ukraine. Stephanopoulos is convinced that Trump will quickly withdraw the US support for President Wolodymyr Selenskyj and his country. "Ukraine will bear the main burden of this political change," he warns. The full interview will be published later in the day and could further heat the worries about geopolitical stability in Europe.
