English 60
In recent months, the two sides of the Atlantic have drawn closer together in the face of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. However, first cracks are already visible in the transatlantic front, for example when it comes to industry subsidies or relations with China. Next year could bring another challenge to the relationship as both the EU and the United States will be heading to the polls. What would a Republican victory mean for EU-US relations and how should the EU prepare for all possible outcomes?
