The president of the United States, Donald Trump, charged this Tuesday against the European Union (EU), which he accused of being a group of “declining” countries led by “weak” people.
This was stated in an interview in Politico, in which he once again distanced himself from the Ukrainian president, Volodímir Zelenskiquestioning even his legitimacy by again claiming that Ukraine holds elections.
“I think they’re weak. But I also think they want to be so politically correct that they don’t know what to do. “Europe doesn’t know what to do.”declared Trump in relation to European leaders.
Last week, the Trump Administration also attacked the EU through its US National Security Strategy, in which it warned of “civilization erasure” of Europe for its immigration policies and the alleged Brussels censorship of freedom of expression and even political opposition.
Regarding the war in Ukraine, the US president blamed the European leaders for “they talk but they don’t produce” and meanwhile “the war goes on and on.”
“They are not doing a good job. Europe is not doing a good job in many ways,” Trump continued. “They don’t know what to do,” he added.
Trump also attacked Zelensky, whom he once again pressured to accept his peace plan: “He’s going to have to wake up and start accepting things.”
The American president was upset with the Ukrainian because, as he said, The latest draft of the proposal to end the war has not been read. “It would be nice if you read it,” he said.
In the interview, Trump insisted on his desire for Ukraine to hold elections as soon as possible, since no elections have been held in the country since 2019.
“I think it’s time. I think it’s an important time to hold elections. They are using war to avoid holding electionsbut I think the Ukrainian people should have that option. Maybe Zelensky would win. “I don’t know,” he declared.
The Republican already called for elections in February 2025, then accusing Zelensky of having very low support and clinging to power in the middle of the war. On social networks He even called him a “dictator without elections,” thus supporting the Russian narrative that Zelensky lacks legitimacy. despite the fact that the Ukrainian Constitution prohibits elections under martial law.
“I’m disappointed”
Trump once again plays the trick of putting pressure on Zelenskyin a moment of weakness for the corruption scandal that has affected his Government, to force him to sign peace with Russia. The American president, after several days of intense negotiations between the delegations from Washington, kyiv and Moscow, affirmed this Sunday that his Ukrainian counterpart “not willing” to sign the plan cooked by your Administration.
“I’m a little disappointed that President Zelensky hasn’t read the proposal yet. His people love it, but he doesn’t,” Trump said in an exchange with reporters before participating in the Kennedy Center Honors. And he added: “I think Russia agrees, but I’m not sure Zelensky is okay with it. Its people love it. But he’s not ready.”
Trump’s criticism of Zelensky comes after US and Ukrainian negotiators concluded three days of talks aimed at reducing differences over the US Administration’s proposal. However, the Republican president now once again suggests that the ukrainian leader is the one who is hindering the progress of the negotiations.
Zelensky met this Monday in London with the leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Germany and assured that the European partners maintain “a common position” in order to find a solution to the war.
The Ukrainian president insisted that will not cede Ukrainian territory to Russia and hopes to present a new peace plan this Tuesday revised according to kyiv’s position to American negotiators.
