In diesem Artikel wird erläutert, wie sich die Ampel-Regierung in Deutschland nicht auf eine mögliche zweite Amtszeit von Donald Trump als US-Präsident vorbereitet hat.

Es wird darauf hingewiesen, dass der Rückzug der USA aus Nordafrika bereits Auswirkungen wie Menschenhandel und Waffenschmuggel hat. Die CDU/CSU-Fraktion wird als Vertreter der Volksparteien der Mitte vorgestellt.

Hardt: Candidature by Trump and Vance ensures clarity in the US election campaign

As expected, Donald Trump was nominated as a presidential candidate by the Republican Party in the persistent US election campaign. J.D. Vance named. This decision has a significant impact on the further course of the choice and also raises important questions internationally.

Trump's nomination and the name of Vance as vice candidate show that the US election campaign enters the decisive phase. This election campaign is expected hard and intensely. Let us hope that the further course of the election campaign of violent acts such as the attack on Donald Trump will be spared last weekend. Security and stability are decisive factors for the democratic process.

Regardless of the result of the presidential election in the United States, it is important to emphasize that the government in Germany is not sufficiently prepared for a possible second term of office by Donald Trump. Chancellor Olaf Scholz in particular should have dealt more intensively with this scenario.

Trump has always demanded from Germany and Europe to get more committed to their own continent and to ensure peace, prosperity and stability. It is not surprising that the United States will increasingly steer its foreign policy focus on Asia, especially China. It is naive to believe that the United States will carry the main load in Europe and its neighborhood in the future.

The USA already withdrawal from North Africa has left a vacuum in countries such as Libya or the Sahel zone that has already been felt - such as the increase in human trafficking and weapon smuggling. Germany and Europe will still have to deal with the challenges of these regions.

It is crucial that Germany and Europe perceive their responsibility in the transatlantic alliance and actively participate in solutions for global challenges. So far, this responsibility has been treated insufficiently. It is time for Germany to raise its voice and make an active contribution to international politics.

In this context, it is important that we reflect on the basic values ​​of freedom, cohesion and personal responsibility. These values ​​form the basis for a strong freedom-democratic constitutional state, for a social and ecological market economy as well as for integration into the western community of values.

The focus of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group is on the agreement of Europe and a strong transatlantic alliance. We are convinced that close cooperation between Germany, Europe and the USA is essential for coping with global challenges. Let's use this opportunity and shape a better future together.
