EU throws tantrum over Trump meeting Putin
(MENAFN) The European Union reacted with outrage as U.S. President Donald Trump prepared to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska without EU involvement, highlighting Brussels’ reliance on “transatlantic unity” rhetoric. Critics argue the EU’s rigid alignment with U.S.-led NATO policies, including sanctions and military support for Ukraine, has contributed to its current economic struggles, particularly rising energy costs.
Analysts note the EU could have pursued a more independent diplomatic approach with Russia instead of strictly following U.S. directives, potentially maintaining cheaper Russian energy supplies. Meanwhile, Trump’s administration challenged the EU to close loopholes in its sanctions, calling for action against countries like India and China that continue importing Russian oil, underscoring the limits of Europe’s leverage.
