Berlin on the results of the US elections

The German government said on Wednesday, November 4, that it intends to continue close cooperation with the United States despite the outcome of the midterm elections, which became a major defeat for President Donald Trump. 'The United States will remain an important partner and ally for us. We will continue our close cooperation with the US, even if a different configuration emerges in both chambers,' the deputy government spokesperson said at a briefing in Berlin Steffen Meyer, as reported by Anadolu.

What is known about the voting results

According to major American media outlets, Trump and his Republican Party suffered a serious defeat in Tuesday's elections: the Democrats are projected to regain control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Asked about possible changes in US foreign policy — including on the war with Iran, Ukraine, and tariffs — Meyer said he 'does not want to speculate,' citing the ongoing vote count. Thus, the final results and their impact on Washington's policy remain uncertain for now.
