“Europe Analyzes Harris-Trump Debate: Key Insights on US Foreign Policy and Ukraine”

The recent debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump captured significant attention not only from American voters but also from European diplomats and politicians, who are keenly interested in the potential direction of U.S. foreign policy. One diplomat noted that Harris displayed a range of emotions during the debate, including pity, bemusement, and genuine curiosity, as she listened to Trump's conspiracy-laden remarks. Despite her reactions, the diplomat emphasized the importance of not underestimating Trump and acknowledged his substantial influence over a segment of the divided American electorate, stating, "Never write him off." A particular point of concern for European observers was Trump's reluctance to clearly state whether he supports Ukraine in its efforts to defeat Vladimir Putin. This ambiguity has left many in Europe pondering the implications for transatlantic relations and the future of U.S. involvement in global conflicts.
