THE election of Donald Trump could mean devastation for the European Union with the parliament's president Martin Schulz admitted relations just become "harder".
Mr. Trump was confirmed as the next United States president this morning and within minutes Mr Schulz spoke out over his disappointment.
The EU has enjoyed close links with the US and President Barack 0bama and is a major trading partner.
The EU president told Europe 1 radio It will be hard, harder than with previous administrations but he is the freely elected president.
"We must respect the future president of the United States (...) I hope we will find a slot to cooperate."
Mr Trump has been disparaging of the bloc over the last year, backing Brexit and inviting Mr Schulz's arch enemy Nigel Farage to the US.
Mr Schulz expanded on his comments on Twitter this morning where he released a statement saying Mr Trump had become the "standard-bearer of the angst and fears of millions of Americans".
He added: "Global politics requires the continuous engagement of the US to make the world a better place to leave to our children.
"From the fight against global warming to its commitment to NATO, the world awaits and hopes for an outward-looking presidency aiming at shaping international relations and upholding the values of freedom and democracy."
Mr Schulz added the EU is the "largest trading partner of the US" and concluded: "The EU is committed to maintain this relationship. We hope the same holds true for the future US President."
Speculation is mounting over what Trump would do next following his election
The EU’s Brexit negotiator Guy Verhofstadt also lamented Mr Trump’s victory.
He wrote on Twitter: “Trump wins. Not only missed chance to elect a 1st woman president.
“Wake up call for Europe to further unite & take charge of its own destiny.”
EU Commission Jean-Cluade Juncker is yet to respond to this morning’s news.
There had been speculation the US election could have far reaching consequences for the EU.
In the run-up to his victory, Mr Trump said: “I think the EU is going to break up,” he told the Times. “The people are fed up, whether it’s here or in other countries. You watch: other countries will follow.”
The EU's un-elected globalist-elite mafia members are stunned and in sheer panic over Donald Trump's election as President. They despised and ridiculed him before the election, and like all arrogant elites, in their hubris NEVER considered for a moment that he just might become the President instead of Hillary Clinton. So NOW they ask humbly for cooperation from the same man they've ridiculed and disrespected as though he were a bum? Payback is a b*tch.
No longer can the EU count on a green light from fellow globalist-scammer and Global Warming crusader, B. Hussein 0bama.
A Trump Presidency also appears to seriously damage the New World Order's immediate plans to destroy ALL remnants of national sovereignty, create chaos among the native populace, the seemingly inevitable Global Warming taxes on the Middle Class, and their insane unfettered plans to inundate Western Europe and the US with tens of millions of Third Worlder Muslims and Mexican invaders looking for a FREE ride.
The un-elected President of the fascist European Union and his co-globalist fascists also fear the total collapse of the EU, begun by BREXIT. This bodes well for all who believe in nationalism, secure and respected sovereign borders, and respective unique culture. It also bodes well for those of Judeo-Christian faith, who've been marginalized and unfairly singled out for persecution.
NATO -- the "North Atlantic Treaty Organization" was originally established as a defense mechanism against a hostile USSR. Since an imminent threat from a USSR that no longer exists, the reason for NATO no longer is in effect. But since NATO has provided the industrial-military complex carte blanche, it has been exploited as a political and financial tool of the Globalist Elites. Its recent interventions and added members have been unnecessary, having NOTHING to do with the original intent of the pact. But now the current EU mafia members are using NATO as some kind of political sledgehammer meme with which to strongarm and threaten Trump's Administration. NOT gonna work with an America First President AND policy.
Good!
Relations most definitely have become harder the EU, its called America First.
The lefts open border, all the world is one country Star Trek crap is falling apart, because us the people are now speaking against the elitist ruling class
what is this global crap. It is America first, and let other countries take care of their own.
Money from here should not go to the crap like them for global warming. They believe in it they fund it.
YOU BETCHA!!
The Global-Elites of the EU had put all their eggs in Hitlery's Basket. BAD BET. Brexit started it. USA-EXIT flings open the door in Europe. The Right and consevatism in Europe is now buoyed. #DRAIN EUROPE'S SWAMP!
Never has any singular event or election turned around Western Civilization to this extent.
In the context of historical impact, this may just be a Top 3 all time. IF Trump excutes his promises of "America First". May the Lord protect this man.
Lol @"Star Trek crap is falling apart" -- ain't it the truth?
Should be, “Shadow Fuehrer.” The EU has fast become the Fourth Reich.
The threat to the European Union bureaucracy is far greater than that.
Trump could have plans to pull the United States military out of Bosnia, and execute that plan the first week.
With an open line of supply through Albania, the Muslims in Europe would mount an all out offensive.
Ahead of schedule, without enough strength to necessarily win, and without giving the bureaucrats enough time to hide their collusion.
The purpose for United States presence in acting as a timing device was abundantly clear when Clinton sent them in. Snip the wire and allow the mohammedans to prematurely detonate - it’s something they are very good at.
Ya know...it is funny how these Euro twits who claim to hate America and Americans hop to it and try to insert themselves into US politics. Schultz and the Euro commies know Trump will wipe the floor with each and every one of them. I can’t wait until he leverages NATO participation and the cost of maintaining US defense forces in Europe for trade deals. IMO, they know if we pull our forces from Europe now, the muzzies will likely overthrow their pseudo-commie governments.
I watched star trek with my youngest the other day. It was the older program version, and Capt Luke Picard was saying to an alien or whatever it was that earth got rid of their borders, and people all lived together in peace.
I thought right away how the left wants that. LOL
That is funny.
The NWO should be looking at Obama as the cause of all their problems really. Obama pushed things too far, too fast so that it was noticeable even by the dimwittiest Americans. He woke up a lot of people to what the NWO was up to.
Why is NATO headed at all right now? Certainly removal of Turkey should be a requirement for us to remain.
Starting from scratch would be a far better option for United States interests.
Needed.
Trump could have plans to pull the United States military out of Bosnia, and execute that plan the first week.
Sure, Trump and the US could mete out that kind of punishment, but we don't need a more unstable Europe and world.
I think THE Plan should be to encourage the Europeans nations to follow suit on the heels of both Britain and the US and vote themselves OUT of the EU. For those who choose to remain (along with absorbing those millions of Mooslimbs), they shall become part of a Caliphate.
Before we pull any plug in Europe, give them the chance to do their own dirty work, control their own destiny and determine whether their treasonous un-elected bureaucratic overlords should be brought to justice in ways they see fit.
The problem of course is $$$ (€€€)
The EU is going to need to fess up some serious cash to fund their fair share of NATO.
