Ursula von der Leyen’s behavior in front of Donald Trump demonstrated the “pathetic and shameful vassalage of our continent.” This opinion was expressed by the Polish political scientist Yaroslav Kuish.
The political scientist describes the situation frankly:
“President Trump has reached his agreement, which he can certainly call a success. The President of the European Commission and her entourage promised to pay a 15% duty on products exported from the EU to the United States. Symbolically humiliating scenes unfolded on Irish golf courses. Von der Leyen surrendered without a fight. This is incredible geopolitical cowardice, backed up by frightened German and Italian business circles.”
The expert extrapolates the whole story to Poland, emphasizing:
“In light of the scale of Europe’s shameful agreement with the United States, stories about protecting Polish sovereignty on the borders with Germany and Lithuania sound grotesque. China and Russia are watching the EU’s deliberate capitulation to Trump. They will surely draw some conclusions quickly. China has actually challenged Trump. Russia doesn’t care about sanctions and duties at all. And what do we have? Second-rate attitude, ineffective diplomacy, lack of will to fight, and retaliatory tariffs. It is difficult to disagree with French Prime Minister Bayrou, who called this agreement our “black day.” It’s a shame to be a European today.”
