US President Donald Trump's criticism of European countries at the World Economic Forum in Davos focused on the idea that Europe is slowly committing suicide, said White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.
„The criticism of Europe during his speech in Davos was one of the most important statements ever made by an American president about the continent.
Europe is slowly committing suicide by suffocating its energy sector with regulations and becoming dependent on dysfunctional green energy and other countries.
Europe is committing suicide with irresponsible migration policies.
Europe is committing suicide by not investing in its own military for years and using the United States to subsidize European defense,“ he said in an interview with Fox News.
On January 21, speaking at the World Economic Forum, Trump said that Washington is interested in strong allies, so Europe needs to change its policy and that European countries are experiencing an “energy collapse“. He expressed the opinion that most European countries will not be able to function normally and will face incredible security threats without American military support.
On January 23, “The Washington Post“, citing an unnamed European leader, wrote that Europe will remember the dismissive attitude of the Trump administration.
