Europe should not be happy about the possible victory of the Democratic Party in the US midterm elections, which will be held today, because Congress has almost no ability to limit Trump's powers in foreign policy and trade, Politico writes. A Republican defeat can only increase the risk of new disputes and tougher demands from Europe. Some experts call on Europe to "show restraint and not give the White House a reason to be angry," while others believe that Trump "needs no reason or justification to attack Europe." Kurt Volker, who served as the last US ambassador to NATO under Bush Jr., believes Democrats will be much more loyal to Ukraine and NATO, but they won't be able to force Trump to do anything. "They might approve the funding, but Trump will just turn around and say, 'Well, I don't have to spend this money.'" Don't expect big changes from the Trump administration. Congress will investigate everything. They will be investigating Trump, his family, the Trump family businesses, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Elon Musk, Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel of the FBI. Trump will oppose it to the end, and it will become a real circus," Volker says. We wrote here about the chances of being elected to Congress.
