European Commission chose to appease and flatter Trump by agreeing to buy more weapons and gas, Europe emerges geopolitically weakened from a deal - Borrell

30-07-2025 20:56

"Bad strategy leads to bad outcomes. Commission chose to appease and flatter Trump by agreeing to buy more weapons and gas - on which it has no competence - and by tolerating unilateral tariffs.

Europe emerges geopolitically weakened from a deal struck in just 1 hour on a golf course", - writes Josep Borrell on the social network X.
