According to former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, the European Union needs to increase its role in global affairs when tensions are created with US President Donald Trump.
His comments to CNBC come after Trump said that the EU’s Iran and Israel could not “help” end the conflict in the Middle East, where Iran and Israel were at war.
According to Trump, a ceasefire was in force between the two regional enemies, but the situation remained sensitive and uncertain.
In any case, Trump’s European criticism follows the other events that the continent struggles to be around the table, including peace talks between Ukraine and Russia.
“There is a very complex situation, because our best ally, the United States and the United States President of the United States Potus attack[s] The United States said Renzi, the leader of Italia Viva Party, now every month, every month, every month.
“Remember now, now there is no agreement about the tariffs, and this is a tragedy.” He said.
The US and the EU have contradicted trade with a few rounds of tariff announcement since Turmp has taken office.
The transatlantic alliance is currently trying to reach an agreement that prevents some tasks, although not all. The idea is to reach a compromise before 9 July.
However, both sides did not see the eye when it comes to defense and foreign policy issues, and European countries are more concerned about the idea that Trump could return the US military presence in the European continent.
Renzi said that Europe has grown with the idea that the alliance with the US is the best, but considering the difficulties in the relationship, the region should “wake up and try to play a role as a European.”
This is an idea shared by others on the European continent.
Enrico Letta, another Italian Prime Minister, Financial times OP-ED released on Sunday: “Donald Trump’s actions in the second period of America, reshaping the global role of the United States, weakening multilateral, and allies, especially aiming to increase the pressure on Europe clearly show that we are dealing with a long-term strategic vision.
For this reason, Letta argued that Europe should “strengthen its autonomy and its capacity to move”.
Meanwhile, German and French leaders acknowledged that on Monday, the US had different priorities under the chairmanship of Trump, and therefore the region should commit more spending on the defense.
“We will live in a deeply unstable environment for a predictable future and in a world where our allies will have other dilemmas and priorities.” He said. Financial times OP-ED added: “We will have to rise to these difficulties.”
