Berlin - The future of transatlantic relationships could be strongly influenced if Donald Trump is again elected President of the United States. This triggered considerable concern in Germany at the political level.

alarm in German politics

Thomas Erndl from the CSU is alerted: "It is very likely that Donald Trump will fill his cabinet with loyal supporters in an election victory." This forecast prompted the Union politicians to prepare for this scenario.

Michael Link, transatlantic coordinator of the Federal Government, said in an interview with the Editorial Network Germany (RND) that one had to deal with possible consequences. "German politics must prepare for different scenarios and deal with the associated challenges," said Link.

past and consequences

The events of January 6, 2021, when Trump supporters stormed the US capitol, remain in the memory of many and throw a shadow on the upcoming elections. Erndl emphasizes that "corrective and balancing forces" could be missing if Trump becomes president again. That could destabilize the political landscape in the USA and worldwide.

global scenarios and future prospects

A victory in Trump in the US election 2024 could have far-reaching consequences. Some of the scenarios discussed are:

• Trump could use the Ministry of Justice to pursue political opponents.
• The United States leaving NATO, since Trump sees it as a burden for the USA.
• Reduction of support for Ukraine and realignment of US foreign policy in favor of Russia, as Trump has already indicated.
• Setting the climate protection measures introduced by the current government.

transatlantic relationships on the sample

The transatlantic coordinator Michael Link continued to emphasize the need to prepare for such a scenario. He emphasized: "I am looking for this shoulder end regularly and have therefore been intensively networked with the professionally responsible colleagues in the CDU and CSU for preparing for a possible scenario Trump 2.0."

politicians such as Jens Spahn (CDU) and Anton Hofreiter (Greens) votes and emphasize that German politics should take strategic measures to counteract the possible challenges of a new Trump victory.

conclusion

Regardless of the outcome of the election in November, as Link concluded: "Germany and the EU must prepare to take on more personal responsibility in the future." The upcoming choice could redesign international politics, which is why strategic foresight and cooperation are more important than ever.
