Europeans welcome US Democratic gains, but caution on swift policy shifts

European officials welcomed Democratic gains in both chambers of the US Congress, while cautioning that the result may not bring rapid changes in US policy, Asharq News reported. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the US president retains broad authority to act independently of Congress and noted that changes to budget-setting and military planning would take time. French Economy and Finance Minister Roland Lescure said Donald Trump would remain the decision-maker in foreign policy. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius called for Europeans to take greater responsibility for their security within NATO.
