Transatlantic cooperation after the US presidential election
Europe has a lot at stake in the 2024 United States Presidential Election. Of course, European countries have no say in the winner, but the traditionally solid transatlantic relationship that has existed between Europe and the United States is subject to a lot of change depending on who ends up in the Oval Office next January.
Key Takeaways:
- Kamala Harris and Donald Trump’s drastically different foreign policy agendas could impact Europe in profound ways, but the election remains too close to call.
- Uncertainty regarding future American support for Ukraine and lack of a plan for ending
the conflict in the Middle East has left Europe scrambling to determine an individual course
of action, while also reckoning with their own internal divisions. - There are also concerns about future collaboration in trade, cybersecurity, and AI usage,
due to Harris’ greater willingness to collaborate versus Trump’s more isolationist approach.
