  "account": "Europe is looking beyond the presidency of Donald Trump following the Democrats' sweeping midterm victory, as European allies may feel emboldened to challenge Trump's demands and restore their own autonomy. \"Everybody is now obliged to look toward the post-Trump era,\" said a European diplomat. Max Bergmann, of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, believes that European deference towards Trump may fade, stating, \"We’re going to see less of that going forward.\" Richard Fontaine, CEO of the Center for a New American Security, predicts that countries like the United Kingdom and South Korea may be less inclined to honor billion-dollar trade agreements negotiated under pressure. Fontaine added, \"Instead, they’ll have an incentive to play out the clock.\" Despite President Trump's claims of restoring American strength and improving the livelihoods of American families, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly maintains that these successes were achieved through fair trade, increased investments, and the elimination of narcoterrorism.",
