At
this early stage, the leaders of the EU institutions, especially the President of
the European Commission and the head of the European External Action Service (EEAS),
should be very prudent and diplomatic when referring to Donald Trump´s election
win.
They
for sure have their own personal opinions about the incoming President. That´s fine.
They also have some serious apprehensions about the future of the US relations with
the EU. That´s fine as well.
But
at this time of the game, it pays to be extremely formal, diplomatic and patient.
Diplomacy helps to smooth things out, as it often does between countries that share
interests. And patience is fundamental to keep a strong negotiating position.
