On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump asserted that the European Union, or EU, was established with the goal of taking advantage of the United States.

“Look, let’s be honest, the European Union was formed in order to screw the United States,” Trump remarked during his first Cabinet meeting. That’s what it’s for. And they’ve performed admirably. However, I am now president.

Additionally, Trump declared his intention to apply 25% tariffs to EU imports into the United States.

In the meantime, when President Volodymyr Zelensky was getting ready to travel to Ukraine to finalize an agreement on the transfer of natural resources, Trump denied the country membership in NATO.

When questioned about a potential agreement to halt the war, Trump responded, “NATO—you can forget about.” “I believe that was most likely the cause of the entire incident.”
