Following the results of the presidential elections in the United States, the President of the European People’s Party, Joseph DAUL made the following statement: “Today the American citizens have elected Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States of America. The US’s enduring Constitutions enshrines basic freedoms, democratic representation, equality before the law and inalienable human rights. We too share these values, and we remain committed to working together with the US, within this common framework, in tackling the common challenges we face. The US has always been one of the closest allies of the European Union. In an uncertain world, the EU and the US must continue their strong cooperation on the topics of security, trade and climate change, among others.
