EU a peace 'superpower,' Mogherini says after Trump win

The European Union is becoming a "superpower" indispensable for world peace, the bloc's foreign affairs chief said Thursday as Europe pondered the implications of Donald Trump's upset U.S. election victory.


"In the months and years ahead, actually I can say in the hours we are living, there is and will be an increasing demand of Europe from our neighbors and from our partners worldwide," Federica Mogherini said.

"There is and there will be an increasing demand for a principled global security provider, for a superpower that believes in multilateralism and cooperation," Mogherini said in an address to the European Defense Agency.
