Trump Tornado rushes Europe-Macron became EU leader

The answer is clear, currently the EU’s foreign and security policy leadership is the President of the French Emmanuel Macronilla.

“He is good at gathering people together, even though he has his own shortcomings,” says Macron, who recently assesses Kauppalehti, which he considers to be the number one leader of the EU.

Germany, who is in the election, is a Rampa Duck, and EU institutions, such as chairman of the Commission Ursula von der LeyeniäThe US Nomination Management as a negotiating partner is not quoted.

A recent example of Macron’s ability to raise his leadership was seen on Wednesday night when the US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz stated that Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer They get a place at a table where the fate of Ukraine is being fed.

Waltz’s decision was preceded by two emergency meetings called Paris, in which Macron, in a quick schedule, was preceded by a uniform response to the convergence of Russia and the United States.

Russia-minded Hungary, Slovakia and Austria, not invited to Paris.

Immediately after the second emergency meeting – which Finland attended, Walz announced that Macron and Starmer were invited to the White House early next week.

The invitation is the answer to the fear of Europe that Donald Trump would do Vladimir Putin With an agreement that would work against both Ukraine and EU security benefits.

As a result of the emergency meetings in Paris, Macron now has the views of EU countries in his pocket that he can present to Trump.

Like -minded

In the whirlwind of Trump tower, the EU is trying to find a common position in 27 countries to support Ukraine.

Chairman of the European Council Antonio Costa Currently, making a ringing round for Member States. After that, it is known whether the EU is worthwhile to hold an extraordinary Ukraine summit on a quick schedule.

The problem is that the decisions of the European Council must be unanimous in foreign and security policy. This is particularly challenged by Hungary and Slovakia.

According to Kauppalehti, the aim of the potential summit is to agree on weapon aid of approximately EUR 50 billion in Ukraine.

In addition to the EU countries, the meeting is also intended to invite Ukraine, the UK and Norway.

The idea is that if Hungary and Slovakia do not bend into consensus, then other EU countries, Britain and Norway, could make a joint decision of similar-minded countries.

The reasons for weakness

The reasons for the EU geopolitical weakness in the midst of a Trump storm can be found in many directions, perhaps also in the mirror.

Hand for the heart, would you like the EU to be a Federal State like the US with a common, strong foreign and security policy.

So far, there has been no desire in the EU countries, but Member States have wanted to consider the sovereignty of states as a central part of foreign and security policy.

Therefore, the leaders of the major countries in the Union are emphasized in the leadership of the EU foreign policy. For the same reason, decision -making in the EU is slow when the positions of 27 Member States have to be reconciled.

Over the years, the EU’s foreign and security policy has focused on preserving peace and rule-basedness. Military security, in turn, has been outsourced to the United States.

In the new Trump world, it is clear that EU military defense capacity is strengthened. At the same time, some EU countries are already cynically calculating whether hundreds of billions of euros should be used to support Ukraine and sacrifice their own soldiers if possible ceasefire and peace are safeguarded.

The Trump storm, which is triggered by Europe, is reinforced by the fact that many Member States have Trump-admiring politicians. The European voters will eventually decide what kind of leaders will be in the future of the EU power vacuum.
