What does Trump’s midterm defeat mean for Europe?

President Trump has acknowledged that the ongoing war with Iran played a significant role in Republican defeats in the US midterms.

The Democrats captured control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives in what analysts are calling a 'blue tsunami'.

President Donald Trump will now face a Democratic-controlled Congress for the remainder of his term.

But what do the midterm election results mean outside of America? How might they shape the future of US-EU relations, America's stance on Nato and Russia, and could Trump consider expanding his foreign policy elsewhere?
