- What challenges might a Harris administration face in maintaining support for Ukraine?
- A key challenge for a Harris presidency would be balancing continued support for Ukraine with potential difficulties in securing congressional approval for significant funding. This might lead to pressure on the EU to increase its contributions.
- How do European analysts view the potential presidencies of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump?
- European analysts largely prefer Kamala Harris to Donald Trump as the next US president due to her consistent transatlantic policies regarding issues like support for Ukraine and trade.
- What are the main differences in the approaches of Harris and Trump towards supporting Ukraine?
- Harris's presidency would likely mean continued support for Ukraine, mirroring Biden's approach, while Trump's stance has been more critical of US aid to Ukraine, creating uncertainty for the EU.
- How would a Harris presidency likely impact EU-US trade relations compared to a Trump presidency?
