Trump: «Europe is not moving in the right direction»

Davos (Switzerland), Jan 21 (EFE).- The President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated in Davos that «Europe is not moving in the right direction» during his speech at the economic forum. Trump said that Europe must «correct its course» and warned that if the United States falls, Europe will fall with them, and conversely, if the Americans advance, the Europeans will follow, in an effort to link the common interests on both sides of the Atlantic despite tensions over Greenland. The head of state criticized the «conventional wisdom» that has dominated the United States and Europe, which has led to an increase in public spending and «massive uncontrolled immigration and countless foreign imports». «I love Europe and I want Europe to do well, but it is not moving in the right direction,» the leader insisted, recalling his European roots before the Atlantic elite gathered in Davos. Trump criticized renewable energy policies, low defense spending in NATO, and said that the only way to achieve anything in this alliance is to use «excessive force,» but assured that «I am not going to do it».
