Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner called on Europe to prepare for a possible second term of former President Donald Trump in the United States by strengthening its “competitiveness.”
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Lindner said Trump was best prepared for possible re-election by “doing our homework.” In addition to a strong economy, this also includes the ability to defend oneself.
I think we talk a lot about Donald Trump in Europe.

“Being an equally attractive partner when it comes to the economic situation and fair distribution of burdens in NATO is the best thing we can do for a good partnership with the United States,” Lindner said in an English-language discussion.
Then it does not even matter who takes power in Washington – this applies to all possible outcomes of the US presidential elections in November.
When we are attractive, when we don't have to ask others because we have skills ourselves, that is the best way to cooperate.

US primaries: Trump is on his way to victory
Trump clearly won the first Republican primary in Iowa on Monday. He received 51 percent of the votes. And in the US elections in November, a repeat of the 2020 duel against President Joe Biden becomes increasingly likely.
Lindner also said in Davos that he was “concerned” that many EU politicians wanted to “back almost everything” along the lines of the US government. “We have to avoid a support race,” Lindner said. “We can't stand this.”
