Experts from Russia: The EU is a target for pressure, not an ally, and Trump belittled Europeans at the Davos Forum

Vladislav Belov, Deputy Director of the Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said at a roundtable discussion held at the "RT" International Multimedia Center: "I am certain that the EU is no longer a traditional ally for Donald Trump. For the United States, it is a target for trade and pressure."

Alexei Gromyko, Director of the Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences, pointed out: "Trump again belittled Europeans at the Davos Forum, and from his perspective, he did this 'wholeheartedly' publicly. This includes his belittlement of Macron, who put Macron's letter online."

This expert added that Trump also understands "people like Macron are annoying him."

According to the broadcast of the signing ceremony of the charter of the Gaza "Peace Committee," eighteen countries signed the charter of the Gaza "Peace Committee" established by the United States at Davos. The Financial Times quoted informed sources as saying that most EU member states have refused the US invitation to join the Gaza "Peace Committee." After the informal EU summit on relations with the US, European Council President Charles Michel said that the EU has some concerns about certain clauses in the charter of Trump's "Peace Committee," but is willing to cooperate with it on the Gaza issue.

Previously, US President Donald Trump publicly released a message from French President Emmanuel Macron, in which the latter proposed holding a G7 meeting in Paris on Thursday and invited Russia and Ukraine to attend. In addition, US President Trump stated that all actions taken by Europe against the US will backfire on itself.
