Financial Times: Trump’s second term will end Western world domination
Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election will mark the end of Western hegemony on the world stage, and Europe must be prepared for that.
The West’s prospects are linked to Trump’s statements regarding both the European Union and NATO.
The dangerous reality is that Trump’s second term is likely to mark the end of the West as an organizational idea on the world stage, and this would be great news for the Russian President Vladimir Putin and terrible for Ukraine.
Trump earlier asserted during an interview with Time magazine that if he returned to the White House, he would try to help Ukraine, but Europe must also pay its fair share.
John Bolton, the national security adviser in the administration of former US President Donald Trump, said last month that the latter is preparing to take the United States out of NATO if elected president next November.
