Finnish MEPs Overwhelmingly Support Harris for US President: YLE News
In a recent survey conducted by YLE News, nearly all Finnish Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have expressed their belief that Kamala Harris would be better for Europe’s future than Donald Trump in the upcoming US election.
The survey, which polled Finnish MEPs from various political parties, found that a staggering 90% of respondents favored Harris over Trump. Many cited Harris’s experience as a former prosecutor and senator, as well as her commitment to multilateralism and global cooperation, as reasons for their preference.
One MEP praised Harris for her strong stance on climate change and her support for international agreements such as the Paris Climate Accord. Another highlighted Harris’s dedication to promoting democracy and human rights around the world.
The overwhelming support for Harris among Finnish MEPs underscores the importance of the US election not only for American citizens but also for Europeans and the rest of the world. With global challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change requiring coordinated action, many believe that a Harris administration would be more conducive to addressing these pressing issues.
As the US election draws nearer, the views of European leaders and policymakers will continue to play a significant role in shaping transatlantic relations and determining the future direction of global politics. The Finnish MEPs’ endorsement of Harris as the preferable candidate for Europe’s future is a testament to the high stakes of this pivotal election.
