European leaders reassess U.S. relations following Trump's election victory
Around 50 European leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, are reassessing their relations with the U.S. following Donald Trump's election victory. They hope his second term will differ from the challenges faced during his first.
Germany is facing a political crisis after Chancellor Olaf Scholz fired his finance minister, raising concerns about upcoming elections and the influence of hard-right parties. This adds complexity to the leaders' discussions about U.S. relations.
Trump's campaign promises, including potential trade wars and changes in NATO commitments, have European leaders worried about future support for Ukraine and other issues. Zelenskyy is expected to seek more aid amid these uncertainties.
