Tusk called Trump a difficult partner for European countries


The American leader Donald Trump has become a much more difficult partner for Europe than his predecessors. This was announced on February 27 by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on the TV channel TVN24.
"He is a much more difficult partner than any other president The United States before him," Tusk stressed.According to him, the difficulty lies in the fact that Trump likes to be unpredictable and impose a rapidly changing agenda even on his allies.
"The unpredictability and variability of events is something that President Trump likes very much. This is his way of working. Imposing such a volatile and very rapidly changing, unpredictable agenda is a method of dealing with both opponents and allies," the Prime Minister said.
Tusk stressed that it is necessary to negotiate with the American leader "without illusions" and not to panic, accepting the fact that for Washington Europe has ceased to be the center of the world.
"Let's not get hysterical, let's not build illusions that we are the favorites," he said.
The Prime Minister clarified that relations with China are now a priority for the United States, as well as the issue of Israel and Iran.
On the same day, NBC News noted that after Trump's decisions, the US partners cannot consider the country href="https://iz.ru/1845910/2025-02-27/smi-soobshchili-o-potere-doveriia-soiuznikov-k-ssha-posle-reshenii-trampa"> a reliable ally. As noted in the article, if the Trump administration continues to antagonize its partners, China and Russia will be able to expand their spheres of influence in the Asia-Pacific region, Africa and Eastern Europe.
