Callas announced Europe's intention to improve relations with the United States

Transatlantic relations were dealt a serious blow this week, but the European Union (EU) will continue to work to improve them. This was stated on January 22 by the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the EU, Kaya Kallas.

"Transatlantic relations have really taken a big hit this week. But this year we have already realized that this relationship is not what it used to be. The EU does not want to throw 80 years of good relations with the United States into the trash, and we want to work on this," she said on the website of the European External Relations Service.

She also called the United States an indispensable ally. According to her, the United States and Europe are stronger when they act together. At the same time, Callas noted that periods of disagreement occur in every alliance.

Why does the United States still want to get a "piece of ice"?

Callas said on January 20 that the EU does not seek conflict with the United States, but intends to stick to its position on Greenland, having the necessary levers of pressure in its arsenal. In addition, the head of the European Diplomacy noted that the EU found itself in a crisis situation on the issue of Greenland, "which it had never faced before," and added that NATO was "quite suitable" to address the issue of Greenland's security.
