Trump’s in. Here’s what it means for Europe.

European policymakers have spent months preparing for Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House .

Trump has promised to slap tariffs on every single European good entering the U.S. So the EU has preemptively locked and loaded some retaliatory measures.

Trump 's victory will inevitably affect every area of EU policy, from drug pricing to green technologies.

Trump has called for more White House interference into the working of the U.S. Federal Reserve .

That could have huge implications for the stability of the global financial system.

Trump ’s animosity for environmental policy will widen the gap between the two blocs on the international stage.

Wall Street is likely to be happy with “America First” economic policies.

A Trump win means Europe can no longer rely on the U.S. for its defense and security.

In a way, this may be a blessing in disguise for the EU , forcing European governments to work more closely together and make bold decisions.

Trump has not expressed clear lines on industrial policy or antitrust regulation, beyond an “America First ” approach.
