Europe and aversion of Trump
The
European Union aversion of the new American President Trump now seems
increasingly evident and threatens to become a major obstacle for
relations between Brussels and Washington. A
deterioration which seems to be already started with the US president
attacks, against what is the most prestigious leaders of the union:
Germany's Angela Merkel. The
scheme used by Trump mirrors that used against China: it started from
an attack on the country's economy, in this case the devaluation of the
local currency, in order to emphasize a policy that harms the United
States. well
understood is that the criticism against Beijing was not against the
lack of rights of the Chinese people, how it would be up to yesterday,
but only the implementation of a policy which adversely affects the
economic interests of the US and geopolitical. By
now you must quickly get used to this trend of American foreign policy,
which seems to shut himself inside the sole and exclusive national
interests. The same thing started against Europe, in a reversal of what until now seemed to be the cornerstones of the American alliance. If
the opposition to China was granted, although it should have been
carried out with greater diplomacy, Trump seems to prefer Moscow, which
was not at all attacked, but on which they were expressed words of
appreciation, in Brussels. The
European Union was first attacked indirectly, thanks to bank loan from
the British prime minister, the first visit to the US, after the
election of the new president, and then directly with the attack on
Merkel and politics European monetary union, accused of using a deliberately weakened currency to support its balance of trade. The
fact that we have not attacked the European Central Bank, responsible
for monetary union, reveals a lack of desired touch, against the
European institutions and the German Chancellor Merkel indicates the
main target for the new Member States, in the old continent. But
the economic reasons seem to have a significance that goes beyond the
specific reasons, the perception is that they are a tool to criticize
something else and that is, what Europe is facing the political vision
of Trump which is the exact opposite. It
seems obvious cultural reasons of what Europe, despite the many
contrasts and contradictions, can represent for the whole world,
especially if the US abdicate leadership role, even moral, of the
Western world, who have held so far. Tactics
Trump seems to be, consistent with its intent, to divide Europe to
break up a union that has within it already deep divisions; surely
the US President will take advantage of the emigration contrasts and
also on budget issues, as well as those related to production surpluses,
especially German, which so endangers American industry products. Certainly
the vision of Trump can take hold of different movements present within
Europe, who have the same ideas of the tenant of the White House,
however, one can not consider that a divided Europe is weaker and
therefore beyond the scope of Trump. The
European force should be its own culture, never as important as at this
time where the emergent antagonist is characterized precisely by his
features rough and deeply marked by ignorance, especially politics. If
the catalyst around which will join the culture will have to overcome
mutual mistrust and the role of the founding members of the union must
be to make, if necessary, also a selection to eliminate members who will
not share, as already happens, the fundamental issues of Europe. If
this contrast present scenario, as it seems, it will continue to
consider an easing of relations with the USA with the result of trying
new alliances and new solutions to meet the imposed global challenges,
both geopolitical evolution, which from the economic. An
appointment will no longer put off the creation of a European military
force, able to compensate for the announced decline of the Atlantic
Alliance's role. Become
more and more autonomous from the United States becomes a requirement
that it always announces more pressing, a variable to be included in the
required manner in the reasoning and future projects. The
next challenges are approaching ever faster rates, and Europe must
change the mode of action, beginning to be appreciated by its citizens:
essential element to be able to support the weight of the upcoming
events that will force the story.
