The US government under President Donald Trump sends new shock waves to Europe almost every day and is damaging more and more transatlantic relationships. Nevertheless, the EU chef Ursula von der Leyen continues to regard the United States as allies.
The chairman of the committee answered the question whether the EU should again define its attitude towards Washington, similar to Beijing, with a “clear no”. There is “a completely different relationship with the United States than with China”. “Differences” exist, but “if you look at the common interests we have, always weigh heavier than our differences”.
Van de Leyen: “Certainly
Trump has repeatedly threatened to impose rates against the EU. His approach to Russia, with a view to the Ukraine war, also caused great concern in Europe. Moreover, the uncertainty is growing to what extent the United States still stands up for the safety of Europe. The world ‘around us changes with lightning speed. Geopolitical shifts shake alliances. For decades, crumble, “von der Leyen explained.
The changed tone in relationships with the United States is a “very clear wake -up call”. For Europe, time has really come to strengthen the defense and “give itself the attitude we need”. During a top on Thursday, the EU had agreed to mobilize a maximum of 800 billion euros for defense against Russia.
Musk threatens to close the satellite
But because all this could soon be too late, because Trump’s close adviser Elon Musk has now raised pressure on Ukraine and has threatened to eliminate his satellitsyst Starlll for President Wolodyyyr Senskyj’s troops. “When I eliminated it, her entire front falls out,” wrote Musk, a narrow adviser from US President Donald Trump, on Sunday on his platform X. Starlink formed the backbone of the Ukrainian forces. With a view to the war, Musk wrote that he was tired of “fighting” for years in a stalemate, and Ukraine will still lose. It is therefore necessary to make peace immediately.
