Donald Trump, beware - this is what a global liberal fightback looks like | Timothy Garton Ash

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : Against this massed onslaught of anti-liberal nationalists we need a determined fightback of liberal internationalists.
58% : From the Canadian elections to universities and civil society, the campaign to turn the tide against anti-liberal nationalists is at last underway Liberals of all countries, unite!
56% : If the EU were prepared to use its regulatory superpower, coordinated with the efforts of other liberal democracies, we could do more to curb them.
55% : Britain and the EU should be more ambitious at their upcoming summit on 19 May.
54% : It will be transformed both by us learning from our own mistakes, so as to build back better, and by the revolutionary impact of Trump.
53% : A trade agreement between the EU and the Mercosur group of Latin American states only awaits ratification by all relevant parties.
53% : The EU doesn't need anyone else's involvement for it to create a single digital space and unified capital markets, nor to build up European defence industries, which would also be a neo-Keynesian economic stimulus.
48% : Promoting free trade against Trumpian beggar-thy-neighbour protectionism is an obvious starting point.
46% : Just as anti-liberal powers outside the west are becoming stronger than ever, the assault on everything we stand for has been joined by the United States.
44% : In foreign policy, the most urgent challenge is to save Ukraine, which Trump is throwing under the bus.
40% : But regulation and taxation alone are not enough.
16% : With the help of the media and platforms the plutocrats control, Trump persuades many ordinary Americans that their suffering is entirely due to foreigners (immigrants, China), while in reality it is more likely to be the fault of people such as Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg.
