France International Radio reported today (February 20): "France: The European Commission 'should not have attended' the first meeting of Trump's 'Peace Council'. France stated that Dubravka Suica, the EU Commissioner responsible for Mediterranean affairs, should explain her attendance at the first meeting of the US President Trump's 'Peace Council', as she 'did not receive authorization from the EU Council to attend this meeting.' (Figure two is the EU Commissioner for Mediterranean Affairs, Dubravka Suica)
[Witty] Comment: France publicly criticized the EU commissioner for attending the meeting of Trump's 'Peace Council' without authorization and demanded an explanation. This attitude is representative. Apart from China and Russia, European major powers such as France and Germany also have strong doubts about this institution, generally worried that it would undermine the United Nations and impact the existing international order. From the beginning, this committee lacked legal authority and broad representation, and there were obvious divisions within the EU, with most core countries refusing to participate. The mainstream position of Europe is clear and firm, not recognizing the US bypassing the multilateral framework to start a new one. This so-called peace conference is essentially a unilateral political performance by the US, which lacks credibility and is unlikely to take off.
