The U.S., China, and Russia share a common goal regarding Europe — Kallas
China, Russia, and the United States are seeking to divide the European Union, as a united Europe is too powerful a geopolitical player on the world stage.
This was stated by the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, according to the authoritative international publication Politico.
She called on European leaders to recognize the scale of external threats and to consolidate efforts to protect shared interests.
The head of European diplomacy emphasized that the EU’s strength lies solely in its unity.
When European states present a united front, they are capable of effectively resisting pressure from other global superpowers.
“They don’t like the European Union; that’s absolutely clear. But we need to understand why they don’t like the EU. The fact is that if we stick together, if we act in unison, then we will be equal forces; we will be strong,” she said.
Kallas noted that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump does not like a united European Union because the bloc is a geopolitical force with which Washington has to compete.
She added that the American leader’s recent statements are part of a “divide and conquer” strategy. This White House policy is aimed at weakening Brussels’ economic and political positions.
The behavior of certain internal players who succumb to external pressure is of particular concern to EU leadership. Some governments are attempting to secure personal advantages by circumventing the pan-European strategy.
The EU High Representative stated that some member states are attempting to maintain their own channels of communication with the U.S. following Trump’s return to the White House.
She emphasized that this is cause for concern because “EU division actually works.” In her view, such separate actions undermine solidarity within the bloc.

As a reminder, Trump arrivedin China for the first time in nearly a decade.
Donald Trump is heading to China for talks with Xi Jinping, where the parties plan to discuss trade, energy, and Taiwan, against the backdrop of a tense global situation.
