EU’s Tusk says no ‘common position’ on Russia with Trump
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEuropean Union President Donald Tusk says talks with US President Donald Trump revealed no “common position” on Russia, a subject on which the US leader faces pressure at home.
Tusk, along with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, also argued for the benefits of open trade and the Paris climate agreement that Trump is opposed to.
Those issues “remained open,” Tusk says, though an EU official said the sides agreed to set up an EU-US task force on trade.
“I’m not 100 percent sure that we can say today — ‘we’ means Mr. President and myself — that we have a common position, common opinion about Russia,” Tusk says after meeting Trump at EU headquarters in Brussels.
