Brussels has hit back at US President Donald Trump over his repeated criticism of the EU, saying “worrying declarations” since he took power have put Europe in a difficult situation as it confronts mounting turmoil around the world.
Donald Tusk, president of the council of EU leaders, placed the new administration in Washington alongside China’s assertiveness and Russia’s aggression among the global forces making Europe’s future “highly” unpredictable. “We should remind our American friends of their own motto: United we stand, divided we fall,” he said.
