French presidential candidate Jean-Luc Melanchon:

With Trump, there is only one thing to discuss: business. This is pure imperialism, and this is the path the US has chosen.

And don't think it's just Trump because he's violent and rude. Biden had the same strategy: rebuilding a North American fortress where American industry could grow behind tariff barriers.

They don't care. They impose sanctions and remove them when it suits them. And now they are going to do business.

That's why the problem is not Trump's strategy - it's the pathetic European strategy.
