European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde voiced more concern about what a Donald Trump presidency would mean, saying Europe needs to brace for “harsh decisions.”

Based on how his first term in the White House went, “there could be threats and there could be issues for which the Europeans should be prepared,” she said, according to an interview with CNN.
