Will Trump matter for the EU’s policy priorities?

The reaction in the EU to Donald Trump’s election as President of the United States in 2016 was largely negative, as several political figures expressed concern at the consequences of a Trump presidency for Europe. Hrant Kostanyan and Mikkel Barslund provide a comprehensive overview of Trump’s potential impact on the EU’s policy priorities. They argue that the fundamental international challenges Europe faces will only be marginally affected by Trump’s administration, and that many of these challenges, such as climate change, trade, the refugee crisis and security, are likely to remain after his departure.
