Soros Foundation concerned about Trump’s potential 2024 victory, fearing globalism’s jeopardy.

George Soros’s foundation is deeply concerned ⁢about the possibility of former President Donald Trump⁣ winning the‍ 2024 election and undermining globalist “unity.” They also express worries about the potential harms that could come⁣ from a “MAGA-style Republican victory” in general.

The Open Society ⁤Foundations (OSF), now led by Alex ​Soros, George Soros’ 37-year-old son, is taking steps⁤ to adapt and respond ‌to any political scenario that may arise after the upcoming presidential election in America.

“We ‍are adapting OSF ‍to be⁣ able to respond ​to whatever ‌scenarios might emerge, on both sides‌ of the Atlantic,” wrote Alex Soros in​ a recent op-ed ⁣for Politico titled “No Soros retreat from Europe.”

The op-ed was a response to ⁤news headlines suggesting that the Soros foundation was “retreating” from Europe under​ new ‍leadership and adopting a new “strategic direction.”

In the op-ed, Alex Soros clarified that⁣ the foundation’s changes ⁤are not a retreat but rather a shift in priorities towards ⁣Eastern Europe, which will involve reducing operations and headcount. ‍He also took the opportunity​ to express his concerns about​ American ​politics and the potential consequences of ⁢a ​Trump victory.

Trump Win⁣ to Endanger ‘Unity’?

Alex Soros is worried that a victory by⁢ President Trump or another “MAGA-style” candidate⁣ would jeopardize European unity and ‌hinder the globalist ⁤agenda.

“Former ‌United States President Donald Trump—or at ⁢least someone with his isolationist and anti-European policies—will be the Republican nominee,” he predicted. ⁣He believes ‌that “a MAGA-style Republican victory in next year’s U.S. presidential election ⁣could, in the​ end, be worse ‍for the EU than for⁣ the U.S.”

Alex‌ Soros ‍described the potential threat⁢ of a Trump⁣ or “MAGA-style” Republican win in 2024 as something‌ that “will imperil European ⁣unity and undermine the progress‌ achieved on so many fronts in response to the war in Ukraine.”

While he​ didn’t provide​ further ‍details on how a Trump‍ win would endanger European unity or lead to undesirable ​outcomes regarding Ukraine, there has been speculation ‍that President Trump⁣ would push⁣ for‍ a peace deal that would ⁢require Ukraine to make territorial concessions.

President Trump has‍ pledged to settle ‌the Ukraine war within⁤ 24 hours of taking office, ⁢without revealing which side he⁤ supports.

“When I’m president, I will have that war settled in one day, 24 hours,” President Trump ‍said during a CNN town hall in mid-May. ‌He also stated that he would meet with both Ukrainian President Volodymyr ‍Zelensky ⁤and Russian President Vladimir Putin⁤ to⁢ pressure them into making‍ a⁣ deal.

“They ‌both have weaknesses‍ and they both have strengths, and within 24 hours that war will be settled, it’ll ‌be over,” President⁢ Trump added.

In⁢ a Fox News interview around the same time, President Trump provided more details on how he ⁢would ⁤persuade ‌both sides‍ to agree to a peace settlement.

“I ​would tell Zelensky, no ‍more. You got to make a deal. I would tell Putin,⁣ if you⁣ don’t make a deal,‍ we’re going to give him a lot. We’re going to [give Ukraine] more than they⁤ ever got ​if we have to,” President Trump​ said, adding that “he will have the deal done in one day.”

Polls indicate that support for the Ukraine war among‌ the ‍American public has decreased. A recent CNN-SSRS poll released on Aug. 4 showed that a majority (51 ‌percent) believed that the United States has done enough.

The United States has⁤ been a major provider of security assistance to Ukraine, with the U.S. State Department stating​ on Aug. 22 that U.S. military aid and training to Ukraine have ⁢amounted⁣ to nearly ⁢$46 billion since 2014,‍ with $43.1 billion of that provided since Russia’s invasion ‍in February 2022.

The Trump⁢ campaign did not respond to⁢ a request for comment from The ⁣Epoch Times regarding this story.

‘This⁣ Isn’t Any Kind of a Retreat’

Alex Soros’ ‍op-ed was published amidst a wave of news headlines‍ suggesting that OSF was⁣ withdrawing⁣ from‍ its ​European operations.

Quoting ‍from ⁣an internal OSF email ​to staff in‍ July, The Guardian​ reported that the organization’s new direction “provides for withdrawal and termination of large parts of our current ⁢work within the‌ European Union,​ shifting​ our focus and allocation of resources to​ other parts of the⁢ world.”

The Guardian framed this‌ strategic shift ‌as a “retreat from Europe” that could have negative implications for human rights. Bloomberg ran a headline stating “Soros⁢ Retreats as ⁣Right Wing Gains In Europe.”

However, ​Alex ​Soros​ explained‌ that as‌ OSF “retools ⁣how ​it works globally,” the foundation is​ adjusting its priorities in Europe, but this should not be seen as a retreat.

“Yes,‍ this means we‌ will be exiting ‍some areas of work as we focus on today’s challenges, as ⁤well as ⁢those we will ​face tomorrow. And yes, we will also be reducing​ our headcount⁤ significantly,​ seeking to⁣ ensure more money goes out to​ where it’s most needed,” wrote Alex​ Soros.

Despite​ the job cuts and changes ⁢in funding, Alex Soros emphasized that OSF ⁢will continue to support its affiliates ‌in Moldova and the Western Balkans, and there ‍should ‍be no ​doubt that they will continue to support their foundation in ⁤Ukraine.
