## Summary

Former EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell says Donald Trump remains a “very dangerous person for the world”, despite Democrats’ decisive victory in the US midterm elections. He warns that the result may not make US foreign policy more predictable and argues that Europe has been too submissive in its dealings with Washington.

Borrell is sceptical that the election will lead to more US funding for Ukraine, saying Europeans have effectively been paying the bill. He sees the Republicans’ defeat as encouraging for Europe’s left ahead of elections in France and Spain, but says the outcome of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s snap election on 29 November remains uncertain, including whether the far right could enter government.
