After Donald Trump's election, a state of uneasiness is prevailing around the world. Even in the U.S., various segments' protests against Trump's election occupy the world media. Trump based his election campaign on Islamophobic messages, vowing that he would build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border. Initially, he was hardly taken seriously in politics as it seemed that he wanted to make the best of the rising xenophobia in the U.S. However, after he outdid his rivals in the Republican Party, he began making statements which were of close concern to the foreign policy of both the U.S. and other countries in alliance relations with the U.S. Therefore, Trump's election victory shocked certain circles. There are some reactions indicating that it created a similar shock effect in the EU as well.
