Attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Florida

Just five days ago, the new European Commission came into office.

Never since the founding of NATO on April 4, 1949, has the election of an American president caused so much uncertainty among Washington's European partners about how to act and cooperate with the new leader of the free world. This is exactly what is happening today after the sweeping victory of Donald Trump.

The reverberations from Donald Trump's recent re-election have reached Greece, stirring the internal dynamics of the ruling New Democracy party. Trump's resounding victory has sparked a fresh debate among Greek conservatives over whether a shift to the right is necessary to secure their political dominance. 

This is an earth changing event. The country which for over a century played a decisive role in how the world developed elected Donald Trump president for the second time, a presidency that will not be subject to the checks that existed when Trump was president from 2016-2020 and which applied to all his predecessors since the founding of the United States.
