The Democrats’ victory in the Congress of the USA has raised new hopes of flexible cooperation between the USA and Europe. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul believes the turn of events would also open new doors to support Ukraine. He describes, how the election result symbolizes both “continuation and change”
Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz on the other hand does not expect any fundamental changes in international politics but expects the most pivotal effect to be seen in the budget and defence politics of the USA.
Defense Minister Boris Pistorius offered her “hearfelt congratulations” for the Democrats. Still, he keeps underlining to the European audience that the main responsibility of the safety of Europe is laying on the shoulders of Europe itself.
