European Union leaders are exploring ways to sustain Ukraine's war effort amid concerns that Donald Trump may withdraw U.S. support. During a recent meeting in Budapest, officials discussed the potential financial implications for Europe, though initial talks did not indicate a significant shift in strategy.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated that the European Union must reconsider its support for Ukraine in light of Donald Trump's U.S. election victory. He emphasized that Europe cannot bear the financial burden of the war alone, ahead of an EU leaders' summit.
Analysts from Bernstein indicate that continued Russian gas flows through Ukraine would have a minimal effect on European fuel prices this winter. They predict that even if a transit deal extends beyond the year-end, it would only add about 5 billion cubic meters of supply, which is less than the average monthly imports for 2024.
The collapse of the traffic light coalition in Germany has sparked widespread uncertainty, with many citizens calling for early elections. The government’s inability to pass a budget could lead to freezes in subsidies and job losses, while fears of increased tax burdens loom due to high inflation. Political scientists emphasize the need for stability and direction, as the crisis threatens both economic recovery and essential social programs.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has described the €50 billion ($54 billion) aid package for Ukraine as an "open question" following Donald Trump's election victory. He noted that the funding is inadequate for Ukraine's needs and that Western nations are growing weary of financial support, prompting EU countries to reassess their commitments and objectives in the region.
Russia-exposed stocks have surged across Turkey and Eastern Europe following Donald Trump's election victory, as investors anticipate potential resolutions to the ongoing war in Ukraine, despite significant challenges ahead. The sanctions imposed by the US and European allies after Russia's invasion in 2022 have forced companies globally to reduce business ties and divest assets, putting pressure on the valuations of Western firms maintaining operations in Russia.
Germany's ruling coalition, led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, has collapsed after prolonged infighting among the Social Democrats, Greens, and Free Democrats. The alliance, formed in 2021 to modernize the economy, struggled with rising energy costs and inflation exacerbated by the Ukraine conflict, leading to increased support for populist parties.
UBS strategists predict limited upside for European equities under a Trump presidency, citing concerns over trade tariffs, rising US bond yields, and potential rollbacks of green energy policies. While European firms may be somewhat insulated due to local production in the US, trade tensions could negatively impact equity valuations, as seen during the 2018-2019 US-China trade disputes. Additionally, the potential for increased European defense spending and a resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict could provide mixed outcomes for various sectors, with consumer staples, IT, and utilities remaining favored despite challenges.
Donald Trump's return to the White House signals a cooling of the UK's "special relationship" with the US, as British leaders express concern over his policies and unpredictability. With Labour's opposition to Trump and a lack of chemistry with Keir Starmer, Britain faces increased isolation post-Brexit, lacking strong ties with the new administration. The potential for strained defense and economic relations looms, as Trump may prioritize deal-making over traditional alliances.
The election of Donald Trump for a second term raises concerns among Europeans about NATO's future, particularly regarding defense spending. While a complete withdrawal from the alliance is unlikely, increased pressure for European nations to raise their military budgets to 2.5% or 3% of GDP is expected. The shared values and military experiences among NATO members remain crucial, especially in light of Russian aggression and global security challenges.
