Getting ready for Trump: Europe’s love-hate relationship | DW News

After an assassination attempt on his life, Donald Trump is planning to win the race to the White House. Together with JD Vance as his vice presidential nominee, he wants to bring the MAGA movement back into power. On the campaign trail, he is promising that America’s future will be bigger, better and stronger than ever before. In Europe, however, his promises are prompting more concern than delight. Many fear that, if elected, Trump could reduce America’s role in Europe, stop American aid for Ukraine and introduce new tariffs on European products.

We travel across the EU to find out how different countries are preparing for a potential second Trump presidency.
