European shares opened higher on Friday, with gains capped by escalating political uncertainty in the United States.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 rose by 0.4% at 391.63 shortly after the opening bell, with basic resouces adding 0.9% to lead gains while technology stocks traded at the flatline, as falling chipmaker shares weighed on the sector.
Investor focus is largely attuned to political developments in the U.S., following the release of a whistleblower complaint against President Donald Trump.
