    >European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the U.S. wants to “divide ​Europe” and doesn’t “like the European Union” in an interview ‌published by the Financial Times on Friday, after more than a year of turmoil in transatlantic relations.

    >”What I think is actually important for everybody ​to understand is that the U.S. has been very clear ​that they want to divide Europe. They don’t like ⁠the European Union,” Kallas told the FT.

    >…

    >Kallas said the United States’ approach to the EU echoed tactics ​used by the ​bloc’s adversaries, according ⁠to the FT.

    It has taken the entirety of Trump’s first term and the first year of his second for the EU to finally accept this elephant in the room – That the US may in fact be hostile to Europe, and certainly to the idea of a united Europe.

    But what are they going to do about this problem now that they have finally acknowledged it?

    How quickly things change. Kaja Kallas was on Canadian TV not long ago talking about how she wished Estonia had neighbours like the United States so they could spend more money on R&D and public education instead of focusing so much on survival.
