Europe must learn to work with Bush
Europeans will react with a mixture of scepticism and hope to George W. Bush’s victory in this year’s cliffhanger elections. The vast majority of European policy-makers expect US diplomacy to become somewhat more adversarial in style and Eurosceptic in substance. Bush will therefore need to reassure and explain his allies of his precise intentions on troop deployments, his plans for a robust National Missile Defense (NMD) system and his commitment to pursue US interests through multilateral organisations.
