Soros Foundation concerned about potential risks to globalism from Trump’s 2024 victory.

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 news headlines suggesting that​ OSF was‍ withdrawing from its European operations.

According to an internal OSF email to‍ staff in July, as reported by The Guardian, the ‍organization’s new direction involves withdrawing and terminating significant parts⁢ of their ‍current work within the European Union, reallocating 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, while Bloomberg ran a headline stating “Soros Retreats as ​Right Wing Gains In Europe.”

However, ​Alex Soros clarified that these changes are not a retreat but rather ‍a realignment of priorities. He emphasized that OSF will continue to support its affiliates⁣ in Moldova, the Western Balkans, and‌ Ukraine.
