Summary:As the presidential election outcome in the United States of America (USA) became clear, European leaders followed a similar formula when congratulating President-elect Donald Trump. They offered their congratulations mentioned previous good working relations with the US (special points for a nod to long-standing relations), and – most importantly – emphasized the need for this to continue for the benefit of the citizens of both their country and the US. The author argues the formula was a telling sign of the political bartering most European heads of state expect with Trump back in the White House. The exception were Trump's European allies who were simply ecstatic. |
