US policies under President Donald Trump are becoming more “confrontational and unpredictable,” Mario Draghi has warned
US President Donald Trump’s increasingly “confrontational and unpredictable” policies have left Europe “truly alone together” and unable to rely on Washington as its main security guarantor, former Italian prime minister and ex-ECB chief Mario Draghi has warned.
Draghi made the remarks in Aachen, Germany, on Thursday while receiving the Charlemagne Prize for his “historic services” to European integration and competitiveness.
Using his speech to outline how Europe can survive the “new realities,” Draghi warned the bloc could no longer depend on the US.
“The world that once helped Europe generate prosperity no longer exists. It has become harder, more fragmented and more mercantilist… The central external fact of our time: our relationship with the US has changed,” Draghi said.
