The defense ministers of France and Germany will engage in strategic discussions on Wednesday, according to the French defense ministry, following the outcome of the United States presidential election.

Republican Donald Trump, claiming victory in the 2024 presidential race, was projected by Fox News to have defeated Democrat contender Kamala Harris. This result potentially marks a significant political resurgence for Trump, coming four years after his previous tenure in the White House.

The talks between the European defense leaders seek to evaluate and potentially recalibrate defense strategies in light of the new U.S. administration's policies and international stance. These discussions underline the importance of aligning European security policies with the evolving geopolitical climate influenced by the U.S. election outcomes.
