Eastern Europe bets on Trump – but what does it cost? | Opinion

Love work with the Trump of Eastern Europe is deep-leaving – but the economic flow can soon be cooled in romance.

Despite the popularity of Donald Trump, there is a corner of the world where the brand remains quite firm: Eastern Europe. Last Sunday, Trump-loving Right Populist George Simion, the first round of the Romanian presidential election, more than 40 percent of the votes and the best way to the best way. Trump’s collateral to “resume America” ​​promises “what is taken by the Great” Simion “Romanian people.” He is not the seller.

In the neighboring Hungary, Prime Minister Victor Orban clearly adopts the Mantle of Trump’s European standard. Trumpworld the effects of the region stretch out of politics. Jared Kushner, Donald Trump in Donald Trump in Belgrade, Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria rubbed the shoulders with politicians, work elites and crypto, the Trump family leaps.

The admiration with the President of Eastern Europe with the “First” President of the American is treated with both ideological alignment and harsh northern pragmatism. The Maga message is widely resonated along the post-communist view. 2024, 2024, 49% of respondents in the election surveillance, Bulgaria and Hungary showed that 49% of respondents in Serbia – Kamala Harris contributed Trump. This is not a coincidence. Former East Germany’s supporters in Tbilisi ruled in Tbilisi Georgia Dream Party, the effective actors in the region are rallying against the liberal democratic consensus. LGBTQ Mirrors the Trump’s base for the rights, race, sex, multiculturalism, vaccines and issues such as Ukraine. Trump’s friendship against Trump’s Vladimir Putin has further increased the appeal in Russia as Serbia.

There is also a transnational measurement. They prefer Trump with the competition with Eastern European diasporas, social conservatism or other ethnic and racial groups in the United States. Their colleagues in Western Europe are very often similar to their very open border policy. In Romania’s final elections, 60 percent of the European Union and Romanians living in the United Kingdom voted simions. Many, in the previously Munich Security Conference, many US Vice President JD Vice has supported Jalin Georgescu.

At home, the elites look at a potential provider. Washington can be useful to both local and international levels in Washington, looking at corruption and democratic rear vibrations. The prospects of the US foreign policy that is inseparable from the work agenda of the Trump organization is charming in an area with non-transparent sectors such as infrastructure, energy and mining. The US-Ukrainian critical miner deal is seen as a plan to revive the grace with a surgery white house.

This connection already gives dividends. In April, the Trump management first announced the sanctions on Antal Rogan, a close orban ally, which was applied under the Global Magnitsky Act. The movement raised hopes elsewhere: Bulgaria, Magnat and Political Sense DELYAN PEEVSKI – sanctioned under Magnitsky – a similar glory.

So far, Eastern Europe trump infatuation can prove to be fragile. Unfortunately, Trump’s economic nationalism threatens to overthrow the economy managed by ideological allies. Hungary and Slovakia and both rely on car exports, suffer under US tariffs. The Slovak Automotive industry is only 30 percent of national exports and works 10 percent of the workforce. A modest modest tariff can carry out workplaces in the industrial pipeline of Europe.

It would lead to political consequences of such economic unmarried. In the Czech Republic, populist Andrej Babis, a businessman like Trump can be increased. However, in Hungary, Peter Magyar has a serious challenge, and holds the elections next year. In Slovakia, Robert FICO manages the elephant majority and increases the public opposition – long-term survival is uncertain.

Trumpism has already proved a commitment to right-wing allies in Canada and Australia. While Eastern Europe thanked more, the region is not affected by an action against the European Union, liberal values ​​and global economic integration, excessive identification risks.

The Maga Revolution is still in Bucharest and Belgrade, but its contradictions can easily burn those who hug it.
