As a EU citizen, Give us your Opinion on the U.S. Elections 2016!



The U.S. Presidential elections came to an end and the Republican Donald Trump is the next resident of the White House. A stunning victory for a candidate seen by so many as an unlikely person to win the U.S. Commander-in-chief job position. But, what does it really mean for the EU-U.S. relation?

Being a major actor on the EU project since the beginning, historically, the U.S.A. has been the EU major ally and supporter. And even some say that history has shown us that the EU had had better relations and deals with Democrats Presidents than with Republican ones, nevertheless, in the pass the leaders of the most powerful nation in the world always had good relationship with the EU. But this can change, now!

For the first time in History, an American President, back then as a Presidential Candidate, expressed an unusual opinion on the EU by saying publicly that a EU member-state would be better withdrawing from the EU, as Trump controversially expressed on Brexit yearly this year. Will this unlikely position from an U.S. President shake the good relationship between the EU and U.S. that we are use to?

In the near future how will EU leaders deal with a President that while campaigning for the Presidency expressed so many grotesque remarks in highly offensive speech tone, totally against to the EU values? The EU stands for values that we haven't seen or heard from Trump so far. Will the new job position ease up the next U.S. President's tone on issues that are so valuable for Europeans?

If you are acquainted with the EU-U.S. relation and feel inspired to share with us your opinion as a EU citizen, please feel welcome to give us your comments on this blog. 

Europe HOpes!
