Four more years: Have allies figured out how to deal with Trump?

François PICARD | Guillaume GOUGEON | Anastasiya SHAPOCHKINA | Gesine WEBER | Yascha MOUNK | Craig COPETAS

Edité par France 24 - 2025

But early moves, like pressuring Israel towards a Gaza ceasefire, complicate the picture. Will Trump push Ukraine into a rushed deal that favours Moscow, scale back Europe's defence or take an entirely different approach?

For NATO allies, what does "America First" mean now, as Trump's far-right fanbase grows across Europe? 

Produced by François Picard, Théophile Vareille, Guillaume Gougeon and Ilayda Habip.

Note
  • How should US allies deal with Donald Trump's return? His inauguration, featuring far-right figures, signals a US president-elect who's intent on shaking up alliances and settling scores. Critics warn he could hand concessions to leaders like Binyamin Netanyahu or Vladimir Putin to dismantle the Washington consensus.
