Incoming President Trump is gearing up to confront challenges posed by China but may soon have to focus on Europe as well.
Europe is dealing with various intertwined issues, including a stagnant economy, bureaucratic expansion, and insufficient leadership.
The Euro is contributing to economic struggles, as its one-size-fits-all monetary policy fails to suit the diverse needs of member states.
Countries like France are facing severe economic challenges while remaining unable to make necessary reforms due to political resistance.
The lack of unity in addressing defense and economic issues may lead to a political vacuum, complicating transatlantic relations under the Trump administration.
