BRUSSELS (BELGIUM) (ITALPRESS) – US President Donald Trump has defined Europe as a group of “depreciation” nations led by “debted” people. The statements are contained in an interview with the head of the White House published by Politico. “I think they are weak,” Trump said, referring to European political leaders. “But I also think they want to be politically correct,” he added. Trump stressed that European leaders “did not succeed” in controlling irregular immigration and ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. The head of the White House finally said to support European political candidates in line with his vision.
The attack immediately found the replica of European institutions. During the daily press briefing in Brussels, EU spokesman Paula Pinho reiterated “what I believe is the feeling of many citizens of the Union, (that is,) we are proud of our leaders.” The spokesman then said he wanted to refrain from any other commentary on Trump’s words and called “excellent” EU leaders, starting with Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Trump also focused on Ukraine: “I think it’s time to call elections.” The Ukrainian leadership, according to Trump, is using the war to not vote again. “I believe that the Ukrainian people must choose,” he said. The statements of the White House leader also in this case provoked the reaction of Brussels, with the EU spokesman, Anita Hipper, who stressed that Ukraine is experiencing “exceptional faults”. “The elections should take place when the conditions allow it,” he added during the daily briefing with the press.
