Europe vs. Clinton, Edwards and Obama

If Edwards becomes President it is vital for the EU to engage him immediately and constructively on trade issues, otherwise a confrontation will be nigh-inevitable.

I have no doubt the European Commission will be ready to engage the President-elect as early as November this year. They are so frustrated by Bush that I cannot imagine them not doing it regardless of who of the three wins.

As for the national governments, I am not so sure.
