EU Reviews Biden's Sanctions Amid Trump Concerns

As Donald Trump's upcoming presidency raises concerns, the European Union is reviewing U.S. sanctions imposed on Russia by President Biden, fearing Trump may reverse them without considering the consequences for European allies. Officials in Brussels are analyzing hundreds of Biden's executive orders related to sanctions, trade, and cybersecurity to assess potential impacts of their reversal. The EU's primary concern centers on Trump's possible rollback of sanctions aimed at Russia following its invasion of Ukraine, which could undermine efforts to leverage these measures in future negotiations with Moscow. Meanwhile, Trump’s team has indicated he is mandated to disrupt the current political status quo, prompting further apprehension in Europe. The Biden administration hopes to shore up Ukraine's defenses with significant aid packages amid this uncertainty. The situation remains fluid as Trump prepares to take office on January 20, 2024.
