Europeans and Uncle Trump: A risk and an opportunity
Donald Trump’s inauguration as US president is a geopolitical event that entails risks whose causes and consequences Europeans need to analyse if they are to turn that event into an opportunity for our Union, warn Enrico Letta, Yves Bertoncini and members of the Jacques Delors Institute board of directors.

Enrico Letta was Italian prime minister between 2013 and 2014, and Yves Bertoncini is director of the Jacques Delors Institute.

Donald Trump is more than likely to remind us of our duties while at the same time accusing us of being reluctant to raise our national spending on defence to 2% of our GDP in accordance with the guidelines formulated within the framework of NATO.

We need to listen to his message, which indeed Barack Obama had already voiced, if we are to improve our capacity to act for our own security in the face of crises which, while they may seem peripheral and of secondary importance when seen from Washington, have a direct and often lethal impact here in Europe.


[...]

By the same token, we have to defend and promote a development model which endeavours to reconcile economic effectiveness with social cohesion and with the protection of the environment, a model from which the United States is marking its distance in view of the priority that it affords to economic effectiveness and from which Donald Trump may soon move even further away.

[...]

We must seize this opportunity to reaffirm the legitimacy of our model not only by contrast with China or with Russia but also by contrast with the United States. And we must do this by continuing to mobilise in favour of the environment and to hold our “green flag” proudly aloft, while at the same time moving ahead with the national reforms required for our model to function more effectively, particularly in terms of social cohesion.

Donald Trump’s election is at once a risk and a geopolitical opportunity for the EU. The EU will be able to benefit from it on condition that its member states and its citizens seize that opportunity in a spirit of cooperation and of solidarity rather than by vainly vying for the favours of a partner which is in any case likely to direct its gaze elsewhere in the future even more than it has done in the past.

a parte la caduta di stile riguardo la "green flag" mi sembrano molto importanti i punti riguardo la spesa militare da innalzare oltre il 2% ed il fatto che trump ci lascerà soli giocando a dividerci, scaricherà più costi possibile su di noi cercando di mantenere il peso politico che ne deriva stimolando la nostra faziosità interna, soprattutto durante le nostre campagne elettorali, tenetelo bene a mente quando succederà.
