Donald Trump will return to Washington as the 47th president of the United States and the Italian left, a few hours after the results were made official, has already gone haywire. “Bad news for Europe and Italy”: this is how the secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein, defined the victory of the Republican candidate in the USA. Speaking at an appointment in Terni and talking about the next regional elections, the Dem leader also ventured a prediction about the tycoon who is already causing discussion. “Those who celebrate Trump today for flag reasons will soon stop when the effects of a new protectionist policy hit businesses and workers in Europe and here in our country”, he ruled. “Even in recent days – he continued, speaking of the tycoon – he has once again declared his hostility towards the EU”.
The solution suggested by the PD leader? “We need a strong push from the European Union.” But Schlein, on the left, was not the only one to express dissent. The leader of the Italian Left, Nicola Fratoianni, for example, wrote on climate crisis. Once again fear, poverty and war lead to the right.” Angelo Bonelli of the Greens, however, declared that “there is nothing to congratulate on: Trump will work to build a sovereignist international aimed at demolishing Europe and social, civil and environmental rights. The American tycoon’s victory poses a serious question from an economic and political point of view, also in relation to Trump’s ties with Elon Musk, an oligarch who concentrates enormous communicative power in his hands and who, through his platforms, too often spreads fake news”.

**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Maria Rossi on World Reactions to Trump’s Victory**
**Editor:** Today, we have Dr. Maria Rossi, a political analyst, to discuss the global implications of Donald Trump’s recent victory in the U.S. presidential election. Dr. Rossi, thank you for joining us.
**Dr. Rossi:** Thank you for having me.
**Editor:** The world seems to be reacting quite vigorously to Trump’s return as president. What are the main concerns coming from European leaders, particularly in Italy?
**Dr. Rossi:** Well, European leaders, including Elly Schlein from Italy’s Democratic Party, are expressing significant apprehension. Schlein labeled Trump’s victory as “bad news for Europe and Italy,” highlighting fears about potential protectionist policies that could adversely impact European businesses and workers. This sentiment stems from Trump’s historical resistance to globalization and the European Union.
**Editor:** What implications do you think Trump’s victory will have on transatlantic relations?
**Dr. Rossi:** I predict that relations could become strained again, much like during his first term. Trump’s tendency to prioritize American interests and adopt a unilateral approach can lead to friction with European allies. If he pursues protectionist policies, it could lead to trade disputes that would hurt economies on both sides of the Atlantic.
**Editor:** Many supporters in the U.S. cheer his victory, citing national pride. How do you see the effect of this on global perspectives towards nationalism?
**Dr. Rossi:** Trump’s win could embolden nationalist movements globally, encouraging leaders to adopt similar rhetoric and policies. However, as the realities of such measures begin to unfold, public sentiment may shift, particularly if they lead to economic downturns or social discontent.
**Editor:** Lastly, Dr. Rossi, how do you think the Italian government’s stance will evolve in response to this new administration?
**Dr. Rossi:** The Italian government will likely adopt a cautious approach, reinforcing its commitment to European unity while preparing for potential challenges from Trump’s administration. They will need to balance national interests with collaboration within the EU, especially if dominant U.S. policies threaten European stability or unity.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Rossi, for your insights on this crucial topic. It’s clear that Trump’s presidency will have far-reaching implications not just in the U.S., but globally.
**Dr. Rossi:** Thank you for having me.
