Following Donald Trump’s election victory, the European Union is struggling to find its ability to act. At a dinner in Budapest on the eve of the informal EU summit, the heads of state and government will discuss possible consequences today, with diplomats expecting a „very open“ debate. Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke to French President Emmanuel Macron on the phone on Wednesday morning. They will „coordinate closely in Budapest and continue to do so in the coming weeks“, said Scholz.
