Although most of Europe's governments are reeling from the possibility of the re-election of Donald Trump as US president, who is expected to cut aid to Ukraine if he wins in November, Trump has already chosen JD Vance as his deputy. potential president, who is one of the most isolationist Republican senators.

He opposes funding for the war in Ukraine and has condemned what he calls 'Europe's dependence on the United States for military investment.'

An EU official who spoke to Politico on condition of anonymity said Vance's appointment is another choice unpopular with the establishment and a potential disaster for military aid to Ukraine.

Vance played a leading role in blocking a law on Ukraine aid this year, and after securing the blocking of the law, he told reporters: "We succeeded in making it clear to Europe and the rest of the world that America will not continue to give blank checks".

Also related to Vance's protectionist impulses is the EU's trade relationship with the US, as the Ohio senator protects American factories and calls for tariffs on imports, writes Politico.

In an interview during the conference in Munich in February, Vance explained why America should not help Ukraine.

"We don't have the manufacturing capacity to support a war on the ground in Eastern Europe, and leaders need to say that to their populations," Vance said.

"How long will this go on? How much will it cost? And most importantly, how will we produce weapons for Ukraine", he said.

At the February conference, Vance avoided meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, saying that "I don't think I would learn anything new," writes the POLITICO network.

The same European official added that if the Trump-Vance duo comes to power in November, the new administration will encourage Europe to get closer to the US rather than doing business with China.

Currently, the EU is less aggressive in its trade policies with Beijing.

Such predictions are problematic for the European Union, which has been trying to improve ties with Washington during the Biden presidency.

During Trump's first presidency, he imposed tariffs on European aluminum steel, and has vowed to again protect American industry if elected in November.

The former president has elevated Vance's career in defense of American workers since announcing his nomination on Monday.

"JD has a successful business career in technology and finance," Trump wrote in a post on the Truth Social network, where he added that "now during the campaign we will focus on the people he has always championed, like American workers and farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and beyond." //Politico.eu
