EU Leaders accuse Biden of disloyalty to allies

The EU’s top leaders on Monday bluntly accused U.S. President Joe Biden of disloyalty to the transatlantic alliance, and demanded he explain why he misled France and other European partners in forging a new strategic tie-up with the U.K. and Australia in the Indo-Pacific.

The extraordinary rebuke of the new American president, whose election was celebrated across Europe as an opportunity to rejuvenate ties after the four years of belligerence and combativeness of Donald J. Trump, raised the prospect of a grave and prolonged breach among Western powers.

“With the new Joe Biden administration, America is back,” European Council President Charles Michel told reporters in New York, as world leaders convened for the high-level debate of the U.N. General Assembly. “What does it mean America is back? Is America back in America or somewhere else? We don’t know.”

By failing to consult EU nations about the new Indo-Pacific strategy, under which Australia canceled a blockbuster contract to buy French submarines, Michel said Biden had discarded an agreement reached by leaders after many hours of talks at the G7 summit in Britain in June to remain united in confronting authoritarian regimes, particularly China.

“The elementary principles for an alliance are loyalty and transparency,” Michel said, adding: “We are observing a clear lack of transparency and loyalty.”

Curious how if it was Trump you'd see him crucified here or on Reddit but when Biden screws over other countries not a peep.

This was discussed... you must not have been paying attention to the politics forums.

In the end, this is France being pissed off for not holding up their end of a bargain.

And the Australians who were sick of dealing with France.

But, lucky for you, this has been discussed in the appropriate forum and thread.

Piss on tRump. And I don't care about his moronic supporters crying about somekind of a double standard. They have no moral highground on anything.

The question here is...do you imagine that Trump would ever care to make such an alliance to begin with? He seemed far more interested in having his ego stroked by NK than to give a shit about his allies. He certainly gave more favorable attention to Russia than to France or the EU.

Loving this, the bigger the rift between mainland Europe and the US the better.



Fuck the NATO.
