The Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs in the Bundestag, Michael Roth, has said that Europe is fantasizing about the US elections, but says that even if Joe Biden stays in the White House, he will demand more responsibility from Europe for the security of her, Eastern Europe and the Western Balkans.
He says that if Donald Trump returns to power, Europe can be mostly only in the field of security.
"Week after week there are strikes all over the country, Europe speculates, discusses and fantasizes about the outcome of the US elections. But little is happening. Since the EU will soon be in election campaign mode, France, Poland and Germany should take the initiative for a strategic concept that takes into account all scenarios. Even with a re-elected President Biden, the US will demand more responsibility from Europe for its security (Eastern Europe, Western Balkans). With Trump, Europe risks being largely alone in terms of security policy", he wrote in X.
Woche für Woche streichen ins Land, Europa spekuliert, diskutiert+fabuliert über den Ausgang der ????????Wahlen. Aber es tut sich wenig. Da die EU bald im Wahlkampfmodus steckt, sollten ???????????????????????? die Initiative ergreifen für ein strategisches Konzept, das alle Szenarien einkaluliert. ????1/3

He says this is why the EU "must finally join forces for a free Ukraine and against Russian imperialism: more defence, massive increase in military support for Ukraine, Marshall Plan for reconstruction, more EU engagement (political + economic) in the Western Balkans".
The US presidential election is scheduled for November 5, 2024.
