The United States is holding its midterm elections, which will decide whether former President Donald Trump’s Republican Party retains control of Congress. Lithuanian observers are watching the vote because the outcome could influence the security of NATO’s eastern flank. They also consider possible shifts in the American military presence across Europe. Continued assistance to Ukraine is another area of concern for Lithuania. Analysts note that a Democratic win could give Congress greater power to limit White House decisions. However, politicians and experts caution that such a change does not automatically translate into a more favorable position for Lithuania. The overall impact on Lithuanian interests remains uncertain.
