US foreign policy does not change with new president

German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas warns Europe and Germany of illusion that a new American president will change US foreign policy. Meanwhile, President Trump appeared confident in victory.

German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD) expects no twist in American foreign policy, even if a new American president comes. For German media “Rheinchen Post» and «General-Anzeiger» (27.07) Maas has warned from both Germany and Europe that in the event of the American president's election loss, there will be changes in American foreign policy. Anyone now waiting in Europe just for the change in the White House has to be prepared, which in this case will not be as comfortable as once, German news agency quoted German minister as saying.

According to Foreign Minister Maas, American politics in both foreign and security has changed, and not since Trump has arrived president. Role as the police of the world, The US will no longer play it as it did, Maas said. Europe must see for itself what it should do for its own safety. But the US remains Germany's most important partner outside Europe, so we strive for the future of relations, despite differences, Maas stresses.

Safe Trump in Victory

Meanwhile, 100 days before the US elections, President Donald Trump is most confident in their victory despite polling values. On Sunday (26.07), Trump wrote on Twitter that his election campaign has more enthusiasm than in 2016. His rival, Joe Biden, doesn't make it up to enthusiasm, according to Trump. „The silent majority will talk on November 3rd!!”, he said. According to Trump wrong polls and „faqueming whether” will not save the radical left „”. According to Donald Trump's election headquarters, poor results in polls relate to that, that the Republicans are in them less represented.

CNN television published a survey Sunday, according to which Donald Trump in the three most targeted federal states, stands behind his challenger Joe Biden: Floria, Arizona, Michigan. In all three federal states, Trump had won in 2016. Even in nationwide polls, Trump is behind his challenger, Joe Biden. But these polls do not have great significant power in the US, due to the complicated electoral system. In the end is the majority of 270 electors known as “electors” from federal states that is crucial to victory, not most votes. /DW/
