US President Donald J. Trump and his Secretary of State Marco Rubio are reportedly focusing on bilateral relations with some European countries, and totally ignoring the European Union in their early diplomatic moves.
But, come to think of it – why wouldn’t they?
The EU is pushing every losing, crippling Globalist agenda under the sun – from unchecked mass migration to the Net-zero obsession of the ‘Church of Global Warming’; from DEI nonsense to Transgenderism for children, to advancing a ‘forever war’ in Ukraine… Brussels is destroying their nations to obey the orders of the Globalist overlords.
In the words of old-time Trump ally, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán: ‘The EU is a contemporary parody of the Soviet Union’.
The most prominent point of tension – but far from the only one – is the unfairness of the trade imbalance.
From Trump’s speech at the Davos WEF conference:
“From the standpoint of America, the EU treats us very, very unfairly, very badly.
They make it very difficult to bring products into Europe, and yet they expect to be selling and they do sell their products in the United States. So, we have, you know, hundreds of billions of dollars of deficits with the EU, and nobody’s happy with it. And we’re going to do something about it.
They essentially don’t take our farm products and they don’t take our cars, yet they send cars to us by the millions. They put tariffs on things that we want to do … We have some very big complaints with the EU.”
Yesterday (27), it arose that Top EU diplomat Kaja Kallas had sent an open invitation to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to attend a regular meeting of the European foreign ministers.
It’s not that Rubio politely declined: he reportedly ignored it.
Politico reported:
“She [Kaja Kallas] told journalists she had asked him to come “to explain the views of the United States” — which now include taking over Greenland, home to 55,000 EU citizens. Rubio didn’t show up at the meeting on Monday. Or hop on via Zoom. In fact, there was no sign he replied.
[…] Rubio’s silence is triggering anxiety among officials in Brussels who suspect that President Donald Trump’s administration is deliberately freezing out the EU as represented by Brussels and pan-European diplomatic frameworks in favor of national figures — all part of a divide-and-conquer strategy to weaken the bloc.”
The Joe Biden administration from hell coordinated closely with EU Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen ‘on everything from sanctions against Russia to vaccine procurement’.
Those days are so over!
Trump is dismantling an already broken union, and will make the Brussels establishment vulnerable to pressure in negotiations.
“Trump has threatened NATO ally Denmark with sanctions unless Copenhagen gives in to his demands on Greenland, which haven’t been precisely spelled out. Rather than seek a strong, coordinated response from leaders via the EU, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has asked her colleagues to stand down out of concern that their comments could further inflame the situation, said two EU diplomats. They, like others quoted in the piece, were granted anonymity to speak candidly about the transatlantic rapport.
‘From what we can see, they [Trump’s administration] want to deal with us bilaterally’, said a third EU diplomat. ‘Given the interest to go on the bilateral track, we will need to show unity’.”
No EU official was invited to Trump’s inauguration, but Italy’s rightwing prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, was there.
