Dec 1, 2024, 07:43 PM
The European Union is considering increasing its purchases of military and agricultural products from the United States to foster a cooperative relationship with the incoming Trump administration, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. This strategy aims to mitigate potential trade tensions and 'cool Trump's anger.' Additionally, the EU may enhance its investment in support for Ukraine, which includes maintenance of U.S. military equipment. These moves reflect the EU's efforts to navigate the changing political landscape in the U.S. following the 2024 presidential election.
