For the US president, ideology is fundamental, not economics, and he wants to export his opposition to immigration, environmentalism and anything he calls "woke".
Trump and his desire to create a far-right European electorate
It's not the economy but the ideology that matters to the US president, who wants to reject immigration, protect the environment, and export everything he describes as "wokeness."
Those who thought it was all about economics, about giving the new US president, Donald Trump, the money he sees fit to repatriate to his country through the payment of tariffs, investments, defense spending, etc., were wrong, as EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said. Trump wants Europe to increase its spending in the US.No doubt to be able to lower taxes at home, but what is fundamental for him is not the economy, but ideology, pure and simple. Trump has a political project based on anti-immigration, anti-woke and anti-green."He is not interested in exporting democracy," writes Ivan Krastev of the Vienna Institute of Humanities.It is the left-right divide, rather than the traditional divide between democracy and authoritarianism, that defines Trump's politics, and Mrs von der Leyen does not understand that."
One might think that Donald Trump and his group of thinkers, mainly from the Heritage Foundation, dislike the European Union, the framework created after the Second World War, a series of internal agreements between countries that are different from each other, but close to their experiences of the 1940s. To create, a structure that starts with countries like Hungary and with authoritarian parties.To do this, he believes that anti-immigration and anti-green policies (policies that do not prioritize measures against climate change or the like) can be supported by this new authoritarian electorate.
And with the former European Central Bank Mario or the former Italian Prime Minister Oristri Ontres and above all, there are various European member states that help to reduce the European Union's infrastructure investments and above all the climate policies that help to connect with the authorities.Hungarian President Viktor Orkin seems to be the main driver of this movement, but Orkin is not enough to protect American dominance.Instead, Amarr's source seems to describe a situation where "struggles like Europe, and many forces related to the situation of Turf countries, have an impact there," says Krasev.
It is possible that the first big meeting, the first moment when the European countries have to define themselves, will be about the regulation of new technologies, including real intelligence.Then it will be seen how well the organization can resist and how well it can defend its main principles: the single market, the principles of one democracy, the principles of one democracy, the principles of one democracy, the principles of one democracy.It is not a union to abandon the rise of artificial intelligence, most of which are from large American companies, but about something more important.What are the regulatory standards in Europe?Because the EU is dealing with the most important thing in the Union, laying the institutional and technical foundations of digital governance.
Currently, the European Union has been able to implement the importance of digital laws.Brussels is in the world before digital progress.The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) creates global protection standards for data protection, promoting civil and commercial rights.The Digital Codelts Act (DMA) and intellectual intent are still dependent on Chinese or American suppliers to access the technology.
