Trump's Influence Sparks European Concerns Over Unity and Economy
Donald Trump's recent election victory is seen as a triumph for illiberalism in the West, emboldening far-right movements across Europe and signaling a potential shift in U.S. foreign policy. With traditional liberal leaders like Angela Merkel no longer in power, far-right parties are gaining influence in countries like Germany, France, and Italy. Trump's win is celebrated by leaders like Hungary's Viktor Orban and Russia's political establishment, who view it as a setback for liberal forces. The election reflects broader voter discontent with incumbents amid economic concerns.
