Unlike in Bulgaria, the presidential campaign in the USA lasts about two years. It is a fight to the last day, because in the few key states where we expect victory to emerge, the forces are evenly matched. I expect President Trump to win because his polls in the 2016 and 2020 elections were lower than the results he ended up getting. I think it will be like that this year too. This was stated in the show “This Morning” on bTV the former Finance Minister Simeon Dyankov.
„Trump's victory will definitely have an impact in Europe in two main directions. The first – he will ask Europe to arm and defend itself. That is, much more money and budget for armaments, much higher contributions to NATO. Trump imagines differently who protects whom in the world. I am sure that in Brussels, Paris and Berlin they are watching it carefully. In general, Donald Trump envisions the world at peace. According to him, it is high time that where there are wars, they should stop. There will be peace, he says so – until hours“, explained Dyankov.
According to him, Kamala Harris is an easier option for Bulgaria, as she does not focus so much on Europe.
„For Harris, Europe is not that important. She has no experience in foreign policy. It will focus more on topics that are related to social development within America, the topic of abortion as well. Then NATO, Bulgaria and military budgets will not be on the front page, Dyankov said.
According to him, our main political leaders will wait until at least Wednesday or Thursday for the results of the US election for the algorithm to work.
„However, this does not make sense. They don't look at us. And after the elections, they will not look at us”, declared Simeon Dyankov.
The former finance minister outlined a path for establishing a regular government in our country after the US elections.
„We wait until Thursday, after which Boyko Borisov comes out and says that he is ready to receive a mandate to create a government. We are creating a minority government. This government will issue several priorities and follow them. Conversations with “We continue the change“ it is not in the interest of PP. This is not a serious option," he added.
