The current US elections have the highest volume of postal ballots and their counting will extend over the next 24 hours if not longer
Media mentions – US Domestic Politics
Trump has been preparing for weeks & spreading the word that the postal vote is not reliable, that the Democrats want to manipulate the election. This creates a climate of uncertainty
The sense of a forceful American strategic position in Syria has really been been immensely wounded by these internal divisions & clearly a sense of ambition by Trump to withdraw the US from Syria
Above all, if the result is clear, it is important that the defeated candidate officially admits defeat
Another Trump administration will have a very serious negative impact on Europe. The United States could i reality end up splitting and destroying the European Union
Trump is the first American president who openly described the EU as a ‘foe’
For Europeans, the most important issue is how the next US president will regard NATO, the US security guarantees to Europe, and the extent of US military investment in protecting Europe
A victory for Trump would be the push that Europeans need to stop talking about sovereignty and start building it
