EU Embraces New Era of Cooperation with Trump

After the formal ceremony of the inauguration of the new President of the USA, Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the European Commission, did not mention the name of Joe Biden in her speech, stating about the beginning of a "new era" in "the acute geopolitical superpower". "Together, our societies can achieve greater prosperity and strengthen our common security," she noted.

The leader of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, expressed hope for "close cooperation" with the new US President Donald Trump amid "global challenges", pointing to "sustainable partnerships across the Atlantic". In a message on the platform "Twitter", von der Leyen wrote: "Warmest wishes to President Donald Trump in your second term as the 47th president of the United States."

Yesterday, Tuesday, the president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen emphasized that the European Union will engage "pragmatically" with the US after Donald Trump returns to the White House and indicates that the EU will maintain a "protective hand" policy towards China.

Minister of Economics Olaf Scholz warned yesterday Elon Musk, founder of the company, that "support for far-right positions" would be unacceptable after his calls to support the far-right party in Germany and gestures that to some sounded like a Nazi salute.

"The European Union is waiting for practical work with you to counter global challenges," she added. "The race has begun," von der Leyen concluded.
