European politicians and diplomats had already prepared for changes to their relationship with the US in the event of a second Donald Trump presidency.
Now that the Republican candidate has chosen Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate, those differences appear even more stark on prospects for the war in Ukraine, security and trade.
A vocal critic of US aid to Ukraine, Mr. Vance told this year’s Munich Security Conference that Europe should wake up to the US having to pivot its focus to East Asia.
A senior German MP, told the BBC that he was confident a Republican presidency would continue to stay within Nato but warned of a new round of trade wars with the US under a second Donald Trump presidency.
