pellinore Posted November 7 #1 Share Posted November 7 (edited) The one good thing about Trump getting back in power is that it will probably get the UK back into the EU. The return of Donald Trump could have two different effects on European politics. It could force European nations to work together, to respond to the threat of US protectionism and the withdrawal of US support for Ukraine. Or it could turn European leaders inwards to focus on the defence of national interests in order to fend off the threat posed by homegrown Trumpians to incumbent governments. Keir Starmer seems to be trying to do a bit of both. He arrived in Budapest on Thursday for a meeting of the European Political Community (EPC), trumpetingagreements with Serbia, North Macedonia and Kosovo on people-smuggling. This is the EPC, not the EU, and none of those three countries is (yet) an EU member, so he sidesteps Conservative accusations that he is trying to “reverse Brexit”.
