Trump Calls EU a Union of 'Weak' and 'Declining' Nations

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, considered that the European Union (EU) is being run by “weak” people, and that it is a group of nations “in decline.” “I think they don’t know what to do,” the president stated. “Europe doesn’t know what to do,” he added, and assured that without changes in border policy, some European states “will no longer be viable.” In his pessimistic view, Trump described cities like London and Paris as places that are “creaking” under the weight of migration from the Middle East and Africa. Furthermore, as Noticias Argentinas agency learned through Xinhua, the head of state said he attaches little importance to the role of European leaders in seeking an end to the Ukraine crisis: “They talk, but they don’t produce, and the war just goes on and on.” Likewise, in the National Security Strategy unveiled last Thursday, the Trump administration pledged to “foster resistance” to the European status quo on migration and other politically volatile issues. “I think they are weak... But I also think they want to be very politically correct,” Trump said at the White House in his interview with Politico.
