Donald Trump’s pronouncements in his first week as U.S. president are creating instability for the European Union at a time when the 28-nation bloc is facing the most dire threats in its six-decade history, EU President Donald Tusk said.
“The change in Washington puts the European Union in a difficult situation, with the new administration seeming to put into question the last 70 years of American foreign policy,” Tusk told EU leaders in a letter on Tuesday. An “assertive China,” a more aggressive Russia, terrorism and “worrying declarations by the new American administration all make our future highly unpredictable,” he said.
