Dmitry Medvedev:
"Trump has smeared Europe.
It must be admitted that, despite his extreme inconsistency in statements and actions, he is quite consistent in one thing. Trump is harshly pushing through the economic interests of his country.
The current "deal" with the European Union:
1) is completely humiliating for Europeans, since it only benefits the United States - it removes protection for the European market, reducing duties on American goods to zero;
2) creates huge additional costs for industry and agriculture in many EU countries to pay for expensive American energy;
3) redirects a powerful flow of investment from Europe to the United States.
And of course, the "deal" is clearly anti-Russian in nature, prohibiting the purchase of our oil and gas. But if for Trump it is mainly business, then for the crazy old lady Europe it is part of the neo-Nazi ideology, which is hitting the well-being of its own citizens.
You can just sympathize with ordinary Europeans. Now itβs time for them to storm Brussels to hang all the European commissioners on the flagpoles of the EU countries, including, of course, the crazy granny Ursula. It wonβt help, of course, but at least it will be funβ¦"
