European business leaders are responding to the potential re-election of Donald Trump and his protectionist 'America First' policies by advocating for a 'Europe First' approach. Recent discussions among corporate executives and politicians in Paris emphasize the need for Europe to strengthen its economic strategy, focusing on increased investment in defense, technology, and green energy, while advocating for regulatory changes and a unified market within the European Union. The urgency for these reforms stems from fears of negative economic impacts should Trump's policies disrupt the global market.
