scmp.com —
Following Donald Trump's unexpected re-election, European officials are increasingly anxious about potential shifts in U.S. foreign policy. Concerns center on Trump's promises to quickly end the war in Ukraine and impose trade tariffs on European goods. As Trump announces his cabinet picks, reactions vary. Nominations like Senator Marco Rubio for secretary of state are viewed positively, while the choice of Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence raises alarms due to her lack of experience and past comments perceived as favorable to Russia. European leaders are closely monitoring these developments, seeking clarity on how Trump's administration may impact their geopolitical landscape and relations with Ukraine.
