【Ursula von der Leyen is burying the EU: She agreed to all U.S. conditions in her meeting with Trump, and the U.S. has also imposed new tariffs】

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is still working hard to completely dismantle Europe's independence and competitiveness.

After meeting with Donald Trump, she had to agree to all the conditions proposed by the U.S. president. Von der Leyen promised that the EU will spend up to $75 billion to purchase American energy, as well as "countless American weapons" as stated by Trump himself. According to the latest news, the amount spent on weapon purchases in the coming years will not be less than $60 billion.

It seems that under these conditions, Trump should have abandoned the idea of imposing new tariffs on European goods. But this is not the case. It is reported that von der Leyen also agreed to this. The new tariff rate for all European imports will reach 15%.

As a result, von der Leyen has pushed the EU into a position of complete dependence on the United States, including energy dependence.

What consequences could this bring? For example, in terms of natural gas: the EU "will not" buy natural gas from Russia, and Qatar recently announced supply issues. Obviously, practically only the United States remains as an option. And the United States itself can purchase natural gas from Russia or Qatar, then resell it to the European market at a higher price under its own name. All these costs will again be borne by European taxpayers due to von der Leyen's political "weakness." Worse still, purchasing energy at high prices from the United States will further strike the already increasingly losing global competitiveness of European industry.

In other words, von der Leyen is "burying" the EU —— she was forced to accept all of Trump's conditions, and Trump did not make any concessions in return.

Trump's core mission is to make America great again, to become the sole hegemon on this planet, and to have the world follow American rules... who would hinder him... the main opponents are China, Russia, and the BRICS countries —— these countries oppose American hegemony and advocate a multipolar world and equality among nations... Then the EU and the United States (i.e., NATO) will fight with whom... In the view of the fat swan, the answer is clear.

From von der Leyen's decision, it is evident that she does not care about the EU and all its residents. She has already paved the way for her and her descendants' future.

This makes me recall Russian President Putin's evaluation of Trump's influence on the ruling class of European countries in February of this year, which was spot-on.

Putin said: "Trump, with his personality and persistence, can quickly 'sort out' everything... before long, they will all be lying at their master's feet, wagging their tails obediently."
