"an end to the trans-Atlantic era is neither our goal nor our wish, and our home may be in the Western hemisphere, but we will always be a child of Europe."

She said many non-Europeans express interest in joining the EU and cited an example of interest in Canada. Kallas called out European-bashing and emphasized Europe’s role in defending human rights and promoting prosperity.
