EU Remains “Cautious Optimistic” About Trump

Official Brussels is inclined to believe that the Republican leader can help war-weary Ukraine return to a position of strength.

According to EU insiders, this could happen even before any negotiations take place.

Despite this, the threat that Donald Trump could act in the most unpredictable way and make decisions beyond any logic still remains.

Against this background, the European Union is preparing for the worst possible outcome, although it hopes that it will not come to that.

Trump constantly criticizes Putin

European politicians also concluded that the Republican's campaign statements about the war were a "bluff."

As you know, Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that he would cancel all American aid to Ukraine, but in reality, such a scenario is unlikely.

Moreover, it is stated that the new US president pleasantly shocked many leaders by asking intelligent questions about the war during meetings and calls with Europeans.

Trump expressed interest in overseeing the Ukraine deal, according to people familiar with the conversations. He also voiced criticism of Putin's behavior, even as he tried to open a channel of communication with the Russian dictator.

As of today, the EU is inclined to believe that an agreement to end the war will appear in the foreseeable future.
