Europe was tolerant of Donald Trump, hoping to get support in the war on Ukraine, but now it is in a very bad position. This was announced today at the Davos Economic Forum by Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever.

According to him, Europe is at a crossroads and it needs to make a decision.

"So far we have been trying to please the new president in the White House. We were very lenient, including with regard to tariffs. We were tolerant, hoping to get his support in the war on Ukraine. We are in a very bad situation right now. We depend on The United States, so we chose to be lenient. But now there are so many red lines crossing that you are faced with a choice: "Being a happy vassal is one thing, being an unhappy slave is quite another." If you retreat now, you will lose your dignity. This is perhaps the most valuable thing you can have in a democracy. This is your dignity," said de Wever, quoted by Pool No. 3.

As reported by EADaily, French President Emmanuel Macron in Davos called for The EU will use a "trade bazooka" against the United States against the background of Donald Trump's threats to impose duties on a number of EU countries due to disagreement with his plans for Greenland. This was reported by BFMTV.
