Dieter Reinisch: 'The European Union is increasingly weak'

In an interview with Al Mayadeen, historian and journalist Dieter Reinisch unpacks the growing tensions between the European Union and the United States following President Trump’s sweeping tariffs on EU goods. Reinisch raises a critical question: Why was Europe so surprised, despite Trump’s repeated warnings? Discussing his recent visit to the European Economic and Social Conference in Brussels, he reveals how EU politicians and diplomats are shrugging in powerlessness, admitting they underestimated the scale of Trump’s economic aggression.
