- What is the overall assessment regarding the implications of Trump's win for Europe?
- Karatrantos highlights the need for Europe to mature quickly and achieve strategic autonomy, something that should have happened decades ago. The US victory also signals a shift where businesses and billionaires can significantly influence political outcomes.
- Who are the main beneficiaries of Trump's electoral victory, according to the provided text?
- According to Triantafyllos Karatrantos, three main beneficiaries of Trump's victory are: the foreign policy sector, which has seen entrepreneurs and billionaires break into traditional politics; the "Trump perception", which challenged traditional democracy and identity politics; and the US economy, as voters prioritized everyday concerns.
- How does Trump's victory affect international relations, especially concerning specific leaders and countries?
