Borrell The only force that - Borrell will deter Trump from war with Iran - Josep Borrell, the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, has issued a serious warning about former US President Donald Trump's potential actions regarding Iran. According to Borrell, the only factor that can prevent Trump from starting a war with Iran is the financial markets.
This statement comes at a time when international concerns are growing about a potential escalation of tensions in the Middle East amid the possibility of Trump's return to the White House. Borrell emphasized that despite Trump's populist stance, economic factors could play a decisive role in his political decisions, and he would be forced to consider the reaction of financial markets.
Analysts link Borrell's views to the seriousness of the severe blow that a large-scale conflict with Iran could inflict on the global economy, especially oil markets. According to them, such a war could lead to a sharp increase in prices worldwide and disrupt economic stability.
Borrell believes that while Trump's policies are often unpredictable, the potential reaction of financial markets could deter him from taking any radical steps. This is because economic turmoil could also negatively impact his political support base.
The European diplomat's statement has sparked serious discussions about potential changes in US Middle East policy and the consequences these could have for international security. Borrell called on world leaders to intensify diplomatic efforts to prevent regional conflicts.
