ai generated text

U.S. President Joe Biden's administration plans to increase military support to Ukraine in the coming months. This decision is in response to Russia's ongoing aggression towards Ukraine. In a statement, Antony Blinken, U.S. Secretary of State, pledged to provide ongoing support to Ukraine, a promise made during a visit to Brussels. Meanwhile, President-elect Trump has expressed skepticism about U.S. military support for Ukraine, questioning the efficacy of such assistance.

Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe
1. The 'free world' will be led by a convicted felon and demagogue who doesn't share our values but wants to destroy them. Liberal democracy is in peril. Is Europe prepared? No. Can it be and will we see real leadership we desperately need? Hopefully!
Ursula Von Der Leyen
European Commission
1. Millions of jobs and billions in trade and investment on each side of the Atlantic depend on the dynamism and stability of our economic relationship.
2. We are bound by a true partnership between our people, uniting 800 million citizens.

1. I have just spoken with the [German] Chancellor Olaf Scholz. We will work towards a more united, stronger, more sovereign Europe in this new context.
Mark Rutte

1. Together, NATO Allies represent halfof the world's economic might and half of the world's militarymight.
2. Through NATO, theUS has 31 friends and Allies who help to advance US interests,multiply American power and keep Americans safe.

1. President Biden fully intends to drive through the tape and use every day to continue to do what we have done these last four years, which is strengthen this alliance.

1. Europe now has to build coalitions with like-minded countries to preserve its prosperity, which is very much founded on trade.
2. Europe's economy is still reeling from its misguided decision to buy its energy from Russia and suffering from falling demand from China. The Trump tariffs further darken its economic outlook.
3. Trump tariffs are a serious threat to the European economy, and especially export-oriented countries such as Germany.

1. We're in for a double whammy. On the one hand, [there's] a security guarantee dependent on Europe's toeing the line on China. We're in line to see very transparent and aggressive measures to force key industries to manufacture in the US.
2. There's going to be some pain before that pain galvanises [the continent] into further European unity. It's not going to be an instant wake-up call.
3. We're going to see someone who is really prepared to break the rules completely, not just rewrite them.
4. What that will mean for Europe is how much time are we going to spend dragging disputes in front of the World Trade Organization, and European Court of Justice. We're going to drown in our own regulations and self-righteousness with someone who really may not care at all.

1. Strategic autonomy will be hobbled by domestic conditions in France and Germany.
