Předseda Evropské rady řekl to, co může každý tušit už od začátku, tedy že nevýhodná červencová kapitulace EU vůči USA v tzv. ekonomické dohodě má v sobě geopolitická očekávání ze strany EU:
European Council President António Costa appeared to concede the war in Ukraine was a factor in the EU’s accepting its much-criticized trade deal with the United States, in a major break from the official line taken by the EU executive.
“We certainly do not celebrate the return of tariffs. But escalating tensions with a key ally over tariffs, while our Eastern border is under threat, would have been an imprudent risk,” Costa said in a keynote speech at the Bled Strategic Forum in Slovenia on Monday.
“Stabilizing transatlantic relations and ensuring U.S. engagement in Ukraine’s security has been a top priority,” he added.
…
He also fired a warning shot at Washington, which has attacked the EU over its tech regulations, arguing they amount to regulatory overreach and censorship. Trump threatened last week to slap tariffs on nations whose digital rules “discriminate” against American firms.
“Our partners — including the U.S. — must know that the EU will always defend its sovereignty, its citizens, its companies and its values,” Costa said. “Diplomacy should never be mistaken for complacency.”
Je otázka co dál. Američani mír nedodali a ani nedodají. Nechat jim tuhle nevýhodnou dohodu za příslib spolupráce na evropském vyslání vojáků na Ukrajinu, je slabé.
