Impacts PVV may look for the government to take a tougher stance on Ukraine should Donald Trump win the US presidential election. The government’s goal of reducing payments to the EU will likely result in friction with France and southern European states. The lack of mention of digital innovation in the coalition agreement could undermine technological investment in the country.
