  5. Politics

    US–EU: Midterms reshape the outlook for Europe

    The Democrats’ midterm victory, including their retaking of both chambers of Congress, weakens Donald Trump politically.

    Two issues are particularly important for Europe:
    - Ukraine: Democrats could support new funding and increase congressional pressure in support of Kyiv.
    - Trade: The threat of US tariffs does not disappear. The President retains powers to act without a vote in Congress.

    A *POLITICO* analysis suggests that Trump could now take a more confrontational approach on the international stage, particularly towards Europe.

    Georgia–EU: Brussels considers new measures over democratic backsliding

    The European Commission considers Georgia a candidate for EU membership “in name only”, citing democratic backsliding, a weakening of the rule of law and restrictions on freedoms. Kaja Kallas announced that EU foreign ministers would consider possible further measures against Tbilisi in January.

    Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze called the report “purely political”, while Georgia’s Foreign Ministry denounced its “factual inaccuracies” and “erroneous assessments”. Tbilisi says it wants to continue its path towards the EU, while challenging Brussels’ conclusions.
