Media: Europe urges to rethink its security as Trump confirms campaign promises

An article by Der Spiegel says that Europe and the rest of the world must no longer be under any illusions regarding the second term of US President Donald Trump, as his actions since taking office have confirmed his campaign promises.

The publication emphasizes that Europe must recall its own strength and be prepared to challenge Trump, Caliber.Az reports.

Contrary to expectations that the president might moderate his tone and adopt a more conciliatory approach, Trump has remained steadfast in his aggressive rhetoric and intentions. He is determined to implement the policies he outlined during his campaign.

The article highlights that Trump appears to dismiss the significance of international order and law, positioning himself as a president who unapologetically defends American interests, often at the expense of global norms.

The piece suggests that Trump will exploit Europe’s perceived vulnerabilities, using them as leverage to impose his will on the continent’s nations.

The publication concludes by urging Europeans to take greater responsibility for their own security, asserting that Trump’s leadership demands a reevaluation of Europe’s role in global geopolitics.

On his first day in the White House, US President Donald Trump signed an impressive number of documents, completing several dozen executive orders in just 47 minutes and 5 seconds. While signing the decrees, Trump engaged with journalists, addressing questions as he worked. He pointed out that his predecessor, Joe Biden, had never undertaken such a rapid and extensive signing session.
