Trump Calls European Nations ‘Weak’ and ‘Decaying’ in Politico Interview

Share


US President Donald Trump has described European nations as “weak” and “decaying” in a recent interview with Politico. Speaking from the White House, Trump criticised European leaders for being overly politically correct and claimed they are unsure how to handle pressing issues.

He warned that without changes in border policy, some European countries “will not be viable any longer,” citing cities such as London and Paris as struggling under the pressures of migration from the Middle East and Africa. Trump also expressed skepticism over Europe’s role in resolving the Ukraine crisis, saying that while leaders “talk, they don’t produce,” allowing the war to continue. He asserted that Russia holds a stronger position than Ukraine and reiterated his call for new elections in Ukraine.

The comments come shortly after the release of the National Security Strategy by the Trump administration, which pledged to “cultivate resistance” to Europe’s approach on immigration and other politically sensitive issues. European Council President Antonio Costa responded by emphasising that allies should not interfere in each other’s democratic processes or domestic political decisions.
