High-level EU-US diplomatic talks are called off as transatlantic tensions rise
A planned meeting between European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and Secretary of State Marco Rubio has abruptly canceled due to “scheduling issues.”
Summary
Secretary of State Marco Rubio abruptly canceled a planned meeting with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, citing “scheduling issues,” amid rising U.S.-Europe tensions.
Trump’s threats of higher tariffs, marginalization of EU input on Ukraine, and criticism of Europe’s migration approach have strained ties.
In a leaked memo, the administration insisted: “The United States cannot continue supporting a continent that drifts in an authoritarian direction. It’s bad for Europe and bad for us.”
The cancellation shows deepening transatlantic divisions.
Which continent is drifting in an authoritarian direction???
Every accusation is an admission.
It's the "I know you are, but what am I?" defense. A real elementary school classic.
Both, but the US in particular.
I'm not sure "drifting" is quite accurate.
Frankly both.
Europe - America is already there.
In a leaked memo, the administration insisted: “The United States cannot continue supporting a continent that drifts in an authoritarian direction. It’s bad for Europe and bad for us.”
