What Trump’s Defeat Means for Europe

lopinion.fr (French) —

Democrats won control of both the Senate and House in Tuesday's midterm elections, delivering a historic defeat to Donald Trump. The new congressional majority will have tools to constrain his foreign policy, though it will not alter his stance on Ukraine or Europe. Democrats secured 54 Senate seats and 228 House seats by Wednesday morning. European leaders largely welcomed the results, but few expect a return to normal relations with Washington under Trump's continued presidency. The Democratic victory emboldens left-wing parties in France, including La France Insoumise and social democrats, despite a domestic political climate more favorable to the far right. Trump's defeat marks a significant shift in U.S. political dynamics.
