A serious Republican loss in the election could affect Donald Trump's foreign policy, particularly regarding support for Russia, says Norbert Rötgen, a member of the Bundestag from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party and a foreign policy expert. "The extent of Donald Trump's defeat and the large Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress may, if cautious assessments are necessary, have a chilling effect on the president's foreign policy. Moscow's support or a dramatic escalation in the war against Iran with massive military power will face clear and significant opposition in Congress. It is impossible to predict what Trump will do, but new opportunities are opening up for German and European foreign policy, both to protect our security interests through Support in Ukraine and to keep the trans. Atlantic relations," Rotgen told the Financial Times.
