“There's going to be some pain before that pain galvanises [the continent] into further European unity. It's not going to be an instant wake-up call. In January as we know, it's going to be a swift and brutal transition of [US] power. We're going to see a dip, some panic, some chaos, some uncertainty. In the end, given the brutality of what's coming from the Trump White House, we're going to see more cohesion in Europe than what we've seen for the past years. I think we're finally maybe going to see the Zeitenwende [epochal change] that's been promised for years actually taking shape.”
