Editorial: Europe has awoken – thanks to Donald Trump
No US president has shaken Europe awake like Trump. His defeat in the midterms is a cause for joy – but also for concern that the new momentum will fade.
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda recently visited Germany, attending a Lithuanian-German economic forum in Düsseldorf. He discussed the evolution of economic cooperation between the two countries, citing lower labor costs as a past incentive for European companies to invest in Lithuania. Today, companies like Rheinmetall and Quantum Systems are collaborating with Lithuanian firms, with Rheinmetall building a large munitions factory in the country.
The German military, the Bundeswehr, will station a permanent armored brigade in Lithuania by the end of 2027. These developments are attributed to various factors, including Russia's war against Ukraine and the policies of Donald Trump.
