Politico: Trump has become the real president of Europe
US President Donald Trump has become the “real president of Europe.” This is what Politico writes about.
The American leader stated that this is what the heads of many European Union (EU) countries call him. Despite the fact that European officials refuted his words, these statements still reflect an unpleasant reality — “EU leaders actually offered the president a seat at the head of their table.” The article mentions that NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte openly called Trump “daddy”, and the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, concluded with him a “one-sided deal resembling surrender” to the United States.
“Never since the creation of the EU has the US president exerted such a direct influence on European affairs. And never before have EU leaders shown such a willingness — even a desperate one — to view the US president as an authoritative figure who needs to be praised, cajoled, lobbied, courted and never openly contradict her,” the article says.
Earlier, Trump said that Europe cannot fight Russia and at the same time buy its energy resources, calling it a disgrace. He called on the EU to join the US duties on Russia.
