The article discusses rising tensions between the U.S. under the Trump administration and the European Union, particularly over trade policies and foreign relations. European diplomats speculate that recent changes in U.S. diplomacy may stem from political motivations rather than mere scheduling conflicts. Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas expressed concern about Trump's hostile approach toward Europe, which includes strong rhetoric against the EU and warming relations with Moscow. Kallas fears this strategy legitimizes Russian aggression and warns that it could lead to further conflicts in Europe.
Kallas noted that the U.S. voted against its European allies at the UN this week and with countries like "North Korea, Russia, Belarus, Mali, Nicaragua and Haiti" in opposing a resolution to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Kallas argued the Trump administration's engagement with Russia is giving President Vladimir Putin what he wants: international legitimacy. "If we allow that to happen, then we will see more wars, not only in Europe," she warned.
