Kallas Says EU Can Work With US Despite Differences on Values

The European Union’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas rejected the picture of the bloc’s decline painted by the Trump administration and urged member states to accelerate Ukraine’s membership bid as a sign of the bloc’s power.

“Europe is not facing civilizational erasure, people actually want to join our club — the waiting list is quite long,” Kallas said Sunday at the Munich Security Conference, endorsing Kyiv’s push for fast-track accession. “Enlargement is a geopolitical priority and we must say yes,” she added.
