Angelos Syrygos, an International Relations professor and New Democracy MP, analyzes recent trends in the US elections. He notes a growing divide among Americans, particularly those feeling disconnected from societal progress, which influenced voter sentiment. Despite Donald Trump’s controversial background, including criminal charges and past scandals, his victory reflects deeper issues, such as discontent with the Democratic Party and reactions against ‘woke’ ideologies. Syrygos emphasizes that this moment could reshape international relations, particularly regarding Turkey and the Middle East, while also marking a potential shift in US-European dynamics.
