German Chancellor Chai today posted: "This afternoon, I discussed the situations in Iran, Israel, and Ukraine with US President Donald Trump. We agreed to maintain close communication and will continue exchanging views soon."
Comment: Germany does not want to be tied to Trump's radical policies, nor dare to openly offend the United States; it can only use formalities like "maintaining close communication" to get by. The essence is that Europe, in the face of Trump's tough diplomacy, passively follows, dares not stand up to him, and only seeks self-preservation. European strategic autonomy has once again become empty words under practical pressure.
