The EP deputy reported on the quarrel between Trump and von der Leyen during the visit of the EU delegation to the United States

Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the European Commission (EC), and US President Donald Trump had a quarrel during the visit of the European Union delegation to Washington in August. This was announced on November 19 by Csaba Demeter, a member of the European Parliament (EP) from the Hungarian Fidesz party.

"When the EU delegation came to Washington, there was a quarrel between Von der Leyen and Trump, they (the EU — Ed.) were not given a proper reception. Which is not surprising at all, considering that in recent years Brussels has constantly insulted President Trump," the parliamentarian said in an interview with the Mandiner channel.

The Norwegian newspaper Steigan also noted in August that Trump had "silenced" von der Leyen during negotiations at the White House. Also, the American president did not personally greet any of the European politicians upon arrival. Thus, neither the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, nor his European nannies from the "coalition of the willing" received anything.
