Donald Trump, the newly elected President of America.
Paris: After Donald Trump’s historic victory in the US Presidential elections, even though almost all the major countries of the European Union have sent congratulatory messages to Trump, there is a stir internally. France and Germany have even called for the European Union to unite after Trump’s victory. The level of panic can be understood from this. European countries say that after Trump’s victory, the changing circumstances should be closely coordinated.
The leaders of the European bloc’s two main powers, Germany and France, responded on Wednesday after holding talks for coordination. While French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz congratulated Trump on Tuesday’s victory, EU countries also focused on the challenges posed by his “America First” protectionist trade policy and isolationist rhetoric.

Germany said that the European Union should stand together
Germany has already started alerting European countries about the possible challenges posed by Donald Trump. German Chancellor Scholz told reporters the EU must stand together and act in a united manner. He said he and Macron were coordinating closely with other EU heads of state and government. Macron said at the summit that Berlin and Paris would work for a united and strong Europe within a “new context”. However, achieving European unity will be challenging.
Not least because differences have grown between Paris and Berlin over the years over issues ranging from rising defense spending to trade financing and, in particular, tariffs on China’s electric cars. French and German leaders are also in a delicate political situation domestically, with Macron losing most of his power after an election defeat earlier this year and Scholz struggling to keep his coalition together.
