Europe is “quite alone and anxious” about the return of Donald Trump: will he be a “disruptive” or “pacifying” element?

Although Europe is pessimistic about the second presidency of Donald Trump, who takes office on January 20th, many countries feel exactly the opposite, concludes a survey released this Wednesday by think thank European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR).

The Republican’s return to the White House is “good” for peace in the world, for American influence and for dialogue between the main powers, concludes the study by the think tank, which is based on research carried out in 24 countries. However, “this sentiment is not shared by some of Washington’s closest allies, including the United Kingdom, the European Union and South Korea.”
