Monetary Instances US Editor Ed Luce argues that President Donald Trump is declaring a ‘international energy vacuum’.
United States President Donald Trump sees many European international locations as extensions of the Democratic Occasion overseas, and thus his “adversaries”, argues Ed Luce, the US nationwide editor on the Monetary Instances.
Luce tells host Steve Clemons that the string of European leaders “bringing fruits to the volcano” in Washington won’t be able to alter Trump’s views on Ukraine or Europe basically. “America now sees the world as a jungle,” he says.
The ability vacuum left by the US will usher in “a harmful time … when you have got the revenge of geopolitics, the return of historical past,” Luce says.
