US President Donald J. Trump and his Secretary of State Marco Rubio are reportedly specializing in bilateral relations with some European international locations, and completely ignoring the European Union of their early diplomatic strikes.
However, come to think about it – why wouldn’t they?
The EU is pushing each dropping, crippling Globalist agenda beneath the solar – from unchecked mass migration to the Web-zero obsession of the ‘Church of International Warming’; from DEI nonsense to Transgenderism for kids, to advancing a ‘without end warfare’ in Ukraine… Brussels is destroying their nations to obey the orders of the Globalist overlords.
Within the phrases of old-time Trump ally, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán: ‘The EU is a recent parody of the Soviet Union’.
Probably the most distinguished level of stress – however removed from the one one – is the unfairness of the commerce imbalance.
From Trump’s speech on the Davos WEF conference:
“From the standpoint of America, the EU treats us very, very unfairly, very badly.
They make it very troublesome to deliver merchandise into Europe, and but they count on to be promoting and so they do promote their merchandise in america. So, we have now, you recognize, a whole lot of billions of {dollars} of deficits with the EU, and no person’s proud of it. And we’re going to do one thing about it.
They basically don’t take our farm merchandise and so they don’t take our automobiles, but they ship automobiles to us by the hundreds of thousands. They put tariffs on issues that we wish to do … We’ve some very huge complaints with the EU.”
Yesterday (27), it arose that Prime EU diplomat Kaja Kallas had despatched an open invitation to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to attend an everyday assembly of the European overseas ministers.
It’s not that Rubio politely declined: he reportedly ignored it.
Politico reported:
“She [Kaja Kallas] instructed journalists she had requested him to return “to elucidate the views of america” — which now embrace taking up Greenland, house to 55,000 EU residents. Rubio didn’t present up on the assembly on Monday. Or hop on through Zoom. The truth is, there was no signal he replied.
[…] Rubio’s silence is triggering anxiousness amongst officers in Brussels who suspect that President Donald Trump’s administration is intentionally freezing out the EU as represented by Brussels and pan-European diplomatic frameworks in favor of nationwide figures — all a part of a divide-and-conquer technique to weaken the bloc.”
The Joe Biden administration from hell coordinated intently with EU Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen ‘on every part from sanctions towards Russia to vaccine procurement’.
These days are so over!
Trump is dismantling an already damaged union, and can make the Brussels institution susceptible to stress in negotiations.
“Trump has threatened NATO ally Denmark with sanctions until Copenhagen offers in to his calls for on Greenland, which haven’t been exactly spelled out. Moderately than search a robust, coordinated response from leaders through the EU, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has requested her colleagues to face down out of concern that their feedback may additional inflame the state of affairs, mentioned two EU diplomats. They, like others quoted within the piece, had been granted anonymity to talk candidly concerning the transatlantic rapport.
‘From what we are able to see, they [Trump’s administration] wish to take care of us bilaterally’, mentioned a 3rd EU diplomat. ‘Given the curiosity to go on the bilateral monitor, we might want to present unity’.”
No EU official was invited to Trump’s inauguration, however Italy’s rightwing prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, was there.
