US challenging rules-based international order: EU president
[PRESSTV] The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...president, Donald Tusk, has expressed worries that US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... is in fact threatening the rules-based international order established in the wake of the Cold War by his attempts to break or renegotiate a number of international agreements. "It is evident that the American president and the rest of the group continue to disagree on trade, climate change and the Iran nuclear deal," Tusk said at a presser ahead of the 44th G7 summit in the Canadian town of La Malbaie, north of Quebec, on Friday. In June last year, Trump announced that he would pull his country out of the 2015 global agreement to fight climate change, known as the Gay Paree Agreement, characterizing the move as "a reassertion of American illusory sovereignty", drawing at the time rebuke from Democrats at home and world leaders who had pressed him not to abandon the 197-nation accord. The American leader, on May 8, also walked away from the landmark nuclear agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was reached between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - the United States, Britannia, La Belle France, Russia and China - plus Germany. He further vowed to reinstate US nuclear sanctions on Iran and impose "the highest level" of economic bans on the Islamic Theocratic Republic. His controversial decision faced criticism from the EU and the other signatories of the historic deal. Posted by: Fred 2018-06-09 |
