Around 50 European leaders, including Ukraine's President Zelenskyy, are reassessing their relations with the U.S. following Donald Trump's second election. They hope his presidency will avoid the conflicts seen during his first term. Germany is facing a political crisis after Chancellor Olaf Scholz fired his finance minister, raising concerns about upcoming elections and tensions between right-wing and establishment parties.

Zelenskyy is expected to seek more aid amid fears that U.S. support may diminish under Trump’s administration.
