ANO vice-chairman: Trump’s election will strengthen Patriots for Europe in European Parliament

The re-election of Donald Trump as American president will strengthen the position of the European Parliament faction Patriots for Europe, to which the Czech ANO party belongs, according to ANO vice-chairman Karel Havlíček. Speaking to journalists at the Chamber of Deputies today, Mr. Havlíček predicted that bilateral relations between Czechia and the USA at the level of national leadership will weaken, and the Czech government will have neutral relations with the new administration.

At the same time, he expects that American relations with the multinational Patriots for Europe group within the European Parliament will improve, since the Patriots are the main partner of the American Republican Party within the EU, sharing views on migration, climate, energy policy and security.
