European leaders meet to discuss Trump’s re-election and strategies for stronger defense against Russia

apnews.com November 7, 2024, 06:01 PM UTC

Around 50 European leaders met in Budapest to discuss their relations with the U.S. following Donald Trump's re-election. They expressed a desire for stronger European defense and less reliance on the U.S., reflecting lessons learned from Trump's first term.

Leaders emphasized the need for increased defense spending and cooperation within NATO. They acknowledged the challenges posed by Russia and the importance of a united front in addressing geopolitical issues, particularly regarding Ukraine.

The summit also highlighted political instability in Germany, where Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition collapsed. This situation adds complexity to Europe's political landscape as leaders navigate their relationships with the U.S. and each other.
