EU leaders and top diplomats urge US President Donald Trump to protect the world order at his summit with Vladimir Putin and dismiss his assertion that Europe was a US trade foe.
Trump triggered fresh concerns from European Council President Donald Tusk at an EU-China summit in Beijing, and from EU foreign ministers in Brussels, one of whom — Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders — urged the US president to stand up for non-EU Ukraine and Georgia against Russia.
Trump said the European Union was a foe in trade while also calling Russia and China foes in some respects, before his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki.
“America and the EU are best friends. Whoever says we are foes is spreading fake news,” Tusk tweeted late Sunday from Beijing, without naming Trump directly.
Trump often uses the term “fake news” when he disagrees with news reports.
