EU no longer sees the U.S. as a guarantor of peace – Bloomberg

Bloomberg columnist Jorge Valero believes that the European Union no longer sees the United States as a guarantor of peace and prosperity for Europe.

“The EU has come to regard China as a systemic rival, and has stopped seeing the US as a reliable guarantor of peace and prosperity for Europe, even if Donald Trump does not win the presidential election in November. Brussels is at a turning point,” the journalist argued.

Jorge Valero added that now Europe needs to find a common language with the US authorities, and given how much their political opinions differ, it will be extremely difficult to achieve this.

The author of the material also expressed the opinion that the new head of the European Commission will have to face more difficulties, if we compare his work with his predecessor.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin called the Western ideas of the new world order hypocrisy. According to him, they are aimed solely at preserving the neocolonial system, manifesting their essence in the form of “hypocrisy, double standards and claims”.
