Former U.S. President Donald Trump has commented on recent diplomatic engagements from the European Union, acknowledging their friendliness while delivering pointed criticism.
Trump noted that EU representatives have recently addressed the United States ‘very nicely,’ indicating a cooperative tone in the dialogue. However, he contrasted this by asserting that in certain unspecified aspects, the bloc’s conduct has been ‘worse than China’ in its dealings with America.
The remarks appear to reference simmering tensions beneath surface-level diplomatic courtesies, though Trump provided no further details about the specific areas of contention. His characterization places EU-U.S. relations in direct comparison with the often-contentious relationship between Washington and Beijing.
These observations emerge amid ongoing efforts to navigate complex foreign policy landscapes, reflecting persistent challenges in transatlantic engagements from Trump’s perspective.
