"EU leaders seem reluctant to grasp the nettle and stop placating US president"
"Donald Trump describes Europe as a "decaying" continent, its leaders as "weak". He attributes blame for the continuation of the Ukraine war to the victim country and to European governments."
"His latest remarks, in an interview with Politico, are a dramatic intensification of the insults and falsehoods by which he conducts international diplomacy."
Donald Trump describes Europe as a 'decaying' continent and calls its leaders 'weak'. He places responsibility for the continuation of the Ukraine war on Ukraine itself and on European governments. The remarks were made in an interview with Politico. The comments intensify a pattern of insults and falsehoods in his international diplomacy. European Union leaders appear reluctant to confront or challenge the US president and instead engage in placation. That reluctance risks allowing misleading narratives to persist and weakens collective responses to geopolitical threats. The dynamic complicates transatlantic relations and undermines coordinated support for Ukraine.
