What the US presidential election means for Europe | DW News

The race for the White House has entered the home stretch. On the last weekend before Tuesday's presidential election, the two candidates have been criss-crossing the country making their last appeal to voters. They're focusing on swing states that will determine who will become the 47th president of the United States.
In Georgia's capital Atlanta, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris repeated her pledge to be a president for all Americans. Later, she is due to attend a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina. Former President Donald Trump is also campaigning in North Carolina, which is marking its last day of early voting. He has promised to crack down on migration and cut taxes.

No one . Europe needs to take its own path without USA the UK and Israel .

[anyaon_]

As a European i truly hope Trump does something about the NATO issue because the Europeans are definitely not taking it seriously enough. Either that or the US straight up leaves NATO.

[Ghost-de]

Imagine Europe being scared of the outcome of the US elections. Europe should be able to pave their own way

[thomashunter]

Why does Europe still need American tax payer money for its defense? It is time for Europe to grow up and become an adult.

[lourdesriate]

it's time americans need to take care of ourselves before we help other countries.

[Skyler]

DW has made the same video a million times.

[NicholasVarias]

EU has demonstrated its incompetence and impotence with its irresponsible immigration policy. UK was the first to leave, Hungary will be next, and many more will follow.

[mottyk]

If Kamala is good for Europe then Trump is good for America

Europe is not America's problem, we can work together but ultimately Europe needs to be responsible for themselves

[Notnow]

"If Kamala wins, will she enforce closer ties with Europe?"

"If Trump wins, how disruptive will he be?"


Impartial journalism at its best!

[TJBeyonder]

I believe Europe needs to become its own united entity regardless whoever gets elected into the White House, Europe needs to become capable of Defending and sustaining its own interest and autonomy without the interference from The US and other outside powers now in this time of uncertainty more than ever .

[andreas]

If Europe was more united politically and had political figures with cojones we wouldn’t care about the American elections

[Pakistan_Allah]

Shouldn't it be...who is better for America?...I mean europe needs to grow some balls to protect themselves 😂😂

[WiseMan]

EU is hoping on continuing on getting a free ride, just like they have been for the last 20 years. They spent all their money on lavish social benefits.

[birhanekidu]

Why should we worry about Europe while we have our problems to solve .

[Darthvids]

Clearly one sided documentary. Not a single bad thing about Kamala and everything horrible about Trump

[HappyGlmre]

Doesn't Europe have a decent amount of internal issues to deal with before obsessing over American politics?

[IceCream-]

After Ukraine, no nation would vote a Comedian as leader. The nation need a firebrand, gung-ho leader like Donnie

[markfitzpatrick]

Trump would be better by far. He would end this one-sided relationship and Europe would wake tf up.

[edwinsiala]

Why can't Europeans take care of their own destiny? Euro zone economy is slightly bigger than the US economy but the Europeans just seem not to be able to chart their own path.

[howareyou]

Europe has tariffs on American goods goods. How come we cannot tariff them..
