Trump tried to weaken the EU

Dmitry Zhuk criticized the influence of the United States

Dmitry Zhuk, a member of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus and chief editor of the publishing house "Belarus Segodnya", commented in the project "EDITORS' CLUB" on the actions of the US president. According to him, Trump did everything possible to weaken the European Union economically. Zhuk claims that any role of the EU in negotiations on Ukraine and its position hinder the weakening of America's influence towards China. He equated economic pressure with the ability to plunder allies, particularly the United States, which, in his opinion, has led the EU to a noticeable economic stagnation.

Context

Summary:

Dmitry Zhuk accuses Trump of attempting to weaken the economic power of the EU, citing U.S. actions that, in his view, are leading to an economic downturn in Europe.
