EU tariffs and controversial remarks deepen Trump's divide
Donald Trump posted another message on social media. According to him, we should not be worried about Putin, but rather about immigrant gangs of rapists. He also criticised Europe in his statement.
Donald Trump's actions may cause concern among many European leaders. He recently announced 25% tariffs on goods imported from the European Union. He then had a meeting at the White House with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which ended in a dispute and an international scandal.
The President of the United States has now made a post that may raise questions
"We should spend less time worrying about Putin and more time worrying about gangs migrant rape gangs, drug lords, murderers, and people from mental institutions entering our Country – so that we don't end up like Europe!" – Trump wrote.
Donald Trump has been advocating good relations with Vladimir Putin since the beginning of his presidency. The two have had telephone conversations. The US President, in discussions with the media, insists that the Russian leader desires peace and cooperation with the United States. Trump even mentioned that both wish to visit each other's countries. They have apparently planned to hold peace negotiations, which will likely take place in Saudi Arabia. The media often accuse Trump of echoing Russian propaganda.
Since the beginning of his presidency, Donald Trump has also been opposing immigrants. J.D. Vance took a swipe at Europe during a conference in Munich, stating that European leaders have strayed from their values, apply censorship, ignore voters, and persecute Christians. He added that the greatest threat is internal.
