The election in the United States

Trump's victory
Analysis: Trump shows who controls foreign policy

President-elect Donald Trump is not waiting until January to launch his foreign policy. Trump has already threatened trade war, promised peace in Ukraine and sent a stark warning to Hamas.

This weekend he goes to France to attend the rededication of Notre Dame. "The star-studded VIP event will mark his grand return to the global stage," writes CNN's Stephen Collinson in an analysis.

Trump is already the American leader that the outside world wants to court when Joe Biden increasingly "disappears from the international scene", he says.

Trump's election victory may have had the greatest impact on the war in Ukraine. Zelenskyi has changed his tone in statements about peace talks with Russia, and now several world leaders seem to be hanging on. In Sky News, Dominic Waghorn writes about Keir Starmer's new statements that Ukraine must be in "a strong position" before negotiations with Russia.

"Trump seems determined to push and accelerate negotiations and other leaders, both Ukraine's and now Britain's, seem ready to accept that it is inevitable," he writes.

Starmer: We are not choosing between the US and Europe

That the UK has to choose either Europe or the US when it comes to strengthened collaborations is wrong. This is what Prime Minister Keir Starmer says in connection with a formal dinner, British media write.

- The idea that we would have to choose between our allies, that we somehow stand with either the US or Europe, is completely wrong, he says.

According to The Independent, his speech at the Mansion House in London was the first major one to address major foreign policy issues since Donald Trump won the US election. Experts have pointed out that cooperation between the US and Europe could weaken with Trump in the White House.

- There is no growth without security and there is no security without alliances, says Starmer according to the BBC.
