Welcome to the Brussels Edition, Bloomberg’s daily briefing on what matters most in the heart of the European Union.
The increasing odds of a second Donald Trump presidency — and what it might mean for Ukraine’s future — is sending shivers through much of Europe. With Biden’s Covid-19 diagnosis adding to concerns over his fitness for office, Trump has emerged from an attempted assassination stronger than ever, recalling the event in his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. Norway’s prime minister told us that he can’t see the US withdrawing support for Kyiv, but Trump’s appointment of running mate JD Vance, whose skepticism over Ukraine aid is no secret, meant that Europe’s security was one of the top priorities when leaders met in the UK yesterday. And with less than four months before the US elections, Ursula von der Leyen won’t have much time to enjoy her second coronation at the helm of the European Commission.
