Germany and France will not have stable governments when Donald Trump takes office.

Both countries are entering the new year without approved budgets due to fiscal disputes.

While France is burdened with high debt and would need more austerity, Germany should increase spending on its aging infrastructure.

France now has the third -highest national debt in the eurozone after Greece and Italy , while Germany only slightly exceeds the EU 's debt ceiling.

The lack of unity between the two leading nations in Europe could also become a problem when Donald Trump starts his second term.

France has already made it clear that it opposes the treaty.

Europe is better prepared than they were eight years ago , believes Carsten Brzeski , as he advises against reacting to Trump 's actions.
