American Presidential Election: What Is at Stake for the EU-US Partnership
Europe is obsessively looking at the next US Presidential elections. Very few of the continent’s main news outlets miss a daily reference to the event which will determine, arguably, the future destiny of the European Union. What seems to be a sort of obsession has many good reasons to be: whatever the future US administration will be, some relevant decisions will be taken on the other side of the Atlantic, in terms of both geopolitical orientation and strategic priorities. As in a crumbling partnership between two comedians, one half of the pair is finding new interests and opportunities. The other is left alone in search of a new identity.
