Trump's Re-Election Victory Is 'Wake-Up Call' for Europe: Estonia

#Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal hopes #Europe will "step up" and invest more in its defense spending following Donald Trump's re-election. Estonia’s prime minister said that support for Ukraine in the months ahead will shape the future of the #European Union as he urged his colleagues to do more to protect #Kyiv and themselves. #politics #worldnews #trump #putin

Kristen Michal said in an interview with #Bloomberg Television that allowing #Russia to change Ukraine’s borders by force would undermine European values. He appealed to his #EU partners to boost defense spending in order to meet the threat from the #Kremlin and demonstrate to Donald Trump that Europe is serious about security.

Donald Trump's relationships with world leaders is set to shape global events. The #US President-elect might strain the unity of #NATO allies and put the future of aid for #Ukraine in doubt. Russia's foreign minister said Thursday his country is ready for a dialogue with the United States if such an initiative comes from Washington.
