The result of the 2016 presidential election took many by surprise. As declared during the campaign, the 45th President, Donald Trump, is set on a clear reversal of policies, compared with his predecessor, in areas such as trade, foreign policy and, not least, climate policy. The United States will continue to be an important partner for Europe, though the EU would be well advised to be seen as a community (of values) with regard to topics of global significance. For this, reorientation is indispensable.
