• The world started 2026 the same way it started 2025, being dependent on Donald Trump and his unpredictability, which is not expected to change.
• Trump's policies that are endangering democracy in the U.S will be decisive and determining.
• Trump's objectives will focus on imposing his geopolitical interests, doing business, and ignoring the international order.
• 2026 is a decisive year for Europe's future, which needs to face the new reality, and implement its own security strategy.
• The problem that Europe is facing is the growing power of far right and nationalist forces, and their increasing tendency to harden migration policy.
• Europe is facing 2026 alone, without allies, and with serious existential threats.

Conclusion: In summary, both the United States with the constant uncertainty of the Trump administration, and Europe with its need for greater political integration and the rise of the far-right, face a challenging 2026. The entire world is watching.
