Security expert points to dangerous shift in Euro-American relations that might change everything. Future of European peace could depend on next years US presidential vote

The well-being of Europe stands at a cross-roads due to upcoming changes in US politics (specifically the possibility of Donald Trump returning to White House)

The continent faces two main threats: first the break-down of NATO protection which has kept peace since mid-20th century‚ and second a possible trade-war that could hurt its economy. These issues might create problems that nobody expected:

  • Loss of American military support
  • Economic difficulties from trade restrictions
  • Weakening of international partnerships
  • Break-down of post-war security system

Dont make the mistake of thinking that Europes transformation into todays peaceful EU can never be undone

Security expert Hal Brands warns in his widely-read analysis

The old-style conflicts could return to European continent — something that seemed impossible just a few years ago. The post-war peace system which helped create modern-day European Union might face its biggest test yet; experts say this would change everything we know about Euro-American partnership

The economic fall-out would be hard-hitting: trade problems between US and Europe could create chain-reaction affecting many areas of life. The continentʼs business leaders are watching closely as election season approaches in America - nobody wants to see decades of cooperation go down-hill
