    As Europe wakes up to US election result it is important to avoid 2 big traps: panic & denial. one, states concerned about their security panicking & rushing to DC try to cut special bilateral deals. The other is not to take Trump seriously & not to prepare for a new world. 1/

    A post-American Germany? Incredible statistic that shows how one of the most Atlanticist states in Europe is moving towards supporting strategic autonomy for the EU

    Der 🇫🇷 Präsident Macron hat in den letzten Jahren die wichtigen strategischen Fragen unserer Zeit ins Zentrum der 🇪🇺 Debatte gebracht. #Europa kann nicht so weitermachen wie bisher. Wir brauchen neue Antworten auf neue Fragen. Meine Antwort an #Macron. faz.net/aktuell/politi…

    A lot has been written about Trump’s legacy – but in a new @ecfr report launched today by Ivan Krastev & myself we reveal radical lessons Europeans have drawn, what it means for European govts & the #Biden team as they build a new basis for cooperation. buff.ly/3oXcLvs

    Lots of confusion and head-scratching in Europe about how to prepare for @realDonaldTrump following his @JDVance1 pick. At ECFR we have been thinking about this for a long time. Thread 👇 1/8

    Very important piece by my colleague @jana_puglierin and @ClaudMajor on how west is sleepwalking into Ukraine defeat after 🇺🇸 election. They lay out strategy to reframe security debate to prevent Kyiv from being forced to settle on Russian terms.
    Ukrainian servicemen rest at their positions after a fight, as Russia's attack on Ukraine continues, near the front line city of Bakhmut, in Donetsk region, Ukraine May 11, 2023.

    Devastating critique of EU. You can add our increasing struggles to set a path on climate, China & regulations. Striking to see countries like Türkiye desperate to go to sco & Brics but sitting out the EPC meeting. We need some serious rethinking about EU foreign policy

    Events in Israel make clear the EU's impotence & inability to shape world around it. Irrelevant in Mid-East. Can't backfill US mil support if Ukr funding dries up. Can't sort Nagorno-Karabakh. Losing the Global South Didn't @vonderleyen want to run a Geopolitical @EU_Commission?

    Is Donald Trump leading a double life? For my ⁦@FT⁩ piece I talked to China’s foreign policy elite & where Europeans only see chaos and unpredictability in trump, Beijing sees grand strategy and shrewd tactics. Reveals as much about China as USA!
    The Chinese are wary of Donald Trump’s creative destruction
