. ready a hi, i'm steve clements and i have a question. it president trump the leaves, the e u was created, the quote, screw the united states. what does the future hold for european american relations? let's get to the bottom line. the suddenly rush, it is america's friend again, also suddenly, europe is being accused of hypocrisy about it's liberal democracy, and it's being lectured about how it can take uncle sam to be uncle sucker. the us led talks to in the ukraine where are being held without ukraine and european countries were cut out as well. as donald trump argued that they didn't do anything to end the fighting for the past 3 years. so why should they be invited? now, trump says ukraine has no cards to play and now keep assigning concessions on this mineral resources to pay for us aid already received. so is it any wonder that

heads are spinning across europe for 80 years? european leaders can safely assume that america was really their ally, or at least their best friend, and then it would always defend them and then all for $1.00 and $1.00 for all alliance. well, now can they be so sure. today we're talking with edward loose, the us national editor and column, is that the financial times here in washington, and he's author of the upcoming book is big the life of speaking it brzezinski america's great power profit. and thank you so much for joining us today. look always of the light. we have been talking foreign policy for a long time. i want to play clipped for you. uh, president trump spots about europe right now. let's listen. european union is a different case. they can a different kind of case. they really taking advantage of us in a different way. they don't accept our cars, they don't accept essentially our farm products. they use all sorts of reasons why not. and we accept everything of them and we have about a $300000000000.00 deficit with the european union. now i love the countries of

europe, i guess some uh from there and some for a long time ago. but it directly pretty directly to i guess. but i love the countries of all countries for actually little different, but your opinions and it was formed in order just go to the united states. i mean, look, let's be honest. the european union was formed in order to square the states. that's the purpose of it. and they've done a good job of it, but now i'm president. and i want to understand this moment with the present the united states is talking about european union, which has been a sort of center piece of success of us foreign policy for decades. and saying that your opinion was formed to screw with the united states. what are your thoughts about this moment, miss alice in wonderland? so real, i mean, your opinion was from tracy of room 1957 at the project of the united states successive democratic republican friedman,

eisenhower administrations the marshall plan, you know, the greatest set of active aid in history to rebuild post for europe, america very, very wisely and skilfully conditioned age to european countries on the degree to which they cooperated and hold that results is in other words, america helped create the european union for a very good reason that it would make war again on the continent impossible opening for at least very unlikely and then it would produce the kind of prosperity in the european union that would, would create markets for american companies, but also stave off the communist threat, the appeal of communism. and it was that one of the grand, i think, unique in history success is that the hedge a month that a big imperial power would actually full enlightened self interest for 9 reasons.

create a collaborative block, the other side of the ocean of the atlantic for its own group, but also for america's good and trumpet signaling, the end of that era. and i at. and it's next door to a repudiation. i'm still digesting. and apparently, lensky is a big pay, so i'm putting isn't and, and truck profuse. just call him that. it is sort of tightening everything upside down. look, this is a huge moment in history. this is a huge moment in a way that from 1.0 simply wasn't. and this time a know he's got his own sort of instincts on steroids. and i think europe has to recognize this and to me that the moment of a sort of most the realization. but this is a change was waiting for you to take my seat, incoming jam and job by actually a couple of days before the german election said we would like france and britain

to extend that new cat umbrella to germany. i never expect as a german lead to germany, which is more dependent on a more close to the united states in many ways because of history that any of a significant, less than power will favor. and just to, to take, take your point, a step further, read with merch. now after the election, it says that germany in europe must achieve independence from the we must become independent in our security. we must that, and he said that america is no longer part of the equation. it can no longer and cannot be seen as a friend. i mean, expressed of amazement that hugh, he was saying this on television to german view as, but how would you instrumental eyes, european independence? well, the new pair to tyrant and there are 2 new powers that's, that kind of conversation is gone from being hypothetical or sort of magical to being absolutely central in the space of a couple of weeks. and it really began,

i think with j. d vance. his speech in munich, you have a couple of places with the history that mean it sort of comes up and attacking his host, the german government, and other european liberal democracies for being that wes, telling me russians don't. and i mean, he said, your, your own enemy and your anatomy, because your quarantine current eating the file right in your, the neo nazi a f d policy in germany. this was a press pound shop to the germans, in particular that an american vice president could come in and tell germans that they should be bringing that route and neo nazis who broke tips. many of whom have been in present these natives and a broken job. and it was about using the v. kyle and the swastika example that an american president would come and say that that was a sort of snap moment that you can't really and do that. um,

everything's changed really since that and the 2 weeks of that have passed since that what does the u. k, do this i asked is not just because i know you're british, but just the british position. you have a british prime minister visiting washington this week. is it better to become a lap dog of donald trump? or is it better to re find your alliances with europe even though of u. k. left europe? yeah, it's very complicated for brittany, no breaks it. you know, now somebody looks very well not suddenly, i think to some of us on a long list strategically, like a big plunder, not just economically, but strategically. look, i mean style, i'm a come to washington and emanuel mac call. the french president came out here in the week. they bring it what i liked, cool bringing fruits to the volcano. trump as the sort of foy explain truths to the volcano to are, you know, this is, this are sacrifices to the great of stormy god,

right? yes. the love of god so that you try and a piece that you're trying to relax, right? you offered obeisance in the hope that you will stave off its anger and any of our options that you know of, okay, and those tend to do. and so they've been bringing fruits to the volcano in the hope that they can moderate trump typically on ukraine. and if that fails, which i think it will, um then uh it makes it easier to sell to the public, to back homes, dom or in britain macro in front and so on. the need to radically change costs. name for european strategic autonomy as, as we used to call it. and i guess independence is now what we call it. i have no doubt that summer is prepared to do that and it's extraordinary in britain, the closest ally of the united states that the debate has shifted, even amongst some conservatives and the opposition conservative to this perspective

. it's, it would have been inconceivable even in 3 months like and now the u. k. is planning to up its defense spinning the 2 and a half percent of gdp as i understand it, but to pay for that to begin slashing its own $8.00 out onto the rest of the world . i want to ask you, not just about, isn't that terrible? i really wanna ask you, are we seeing history? we started again. we're america created with britain with others, a lot of the, the institutions after a world war, after tens of millions of people were killed. are we going to see things like massive world wars? again, in, in response to some of the shots, are we going to see as economies realize, wow, this isn't working out in other great depression? are we going to bring back those parts of the earlier part of the 20th century? what, so it's a, it's a really good sense, somewhat important question. i mean, the last time that we had a global power back,

human trump is essentially declaring a power vacuum. he's saying no america now sees the, well, there's a jungle with a big pride of the there are other big practices. we don't really care about small practices. and so it's not a system of rules any longer. however hippa, critically, those rules were up house own not upheld, however, selectively, they replied, there was, there was a system of rules and people, people tried to follow it and shouted loudly when america failed to follow, the trump is, is bringing his back to the interval. well, between the 1st world war and the 2nd world war, web, britain was too weak to sustain its historic role. the pac springs were tanica, right. as the global hedge among america was just touching the reluctant, after rejecting the treaty of versailles and the league of nations. and therefore we had a vacuum. and power rushes to fill a vacuum and that is what happened. and that then produced the 2nd level. so it tends to be

a dangerous time when there is no agreed hedge him on when you have what i call the revenge of geo politics. um, at the time of history, of course, with a vengeance. you get great danger and you get great unpredictability. and you get great uncertainty. every single company in the world now has geo politics is it's number one subject as it's number one risk. let me ask you, let me, let me take donald trump side for a moment. yeah. it wasn't this day coming. does it make sense for america to be the principal guarantor and, and, and security arm for europe, while american investment in itself and its infrastructure is crumbling and you see europe able to kind of pay all the social benefit? it isn't. europe hasn't, you're a been a free rider on. i'm on america's muscle for a long time and didn't this day have to one day come regardless who, who is, who is in the white house. it did. and i fully agree with the parents of your question is not just taking comp side is taking a bomb, is tied,

is taking place. gene is diagnostic impression is that it's taking offense inside every american present website. you've got to step up and show the more of the above. and you know, that could be a silver lining here that he's shocking and stimulating europe him to doing lot of presidents who off nicely me got very, very little down the road in achieving um let me let me just positive. so yeah, he may get that you're this very empowered, but that europe is going to be less maneuverable, less push or you, you can't push that europe around quite as much. i keep telling people that while president macro and a france kept talking about strategic autonomy and america would kind of, you know, pay okay. okay. but at the same time, we never wanted europe to be truly strategic. our tom is strategically. our time is we didn't want a super powered europe, that was this engaged from us power us decisions. this is a very different moment where donald trump is saying, i don't care what you do and you're no longer consequential in our security map. it

may be as a rival, this is a case of behalf of what you wish for you. you might actually get to it. i mean, you have has been finalized by dependents of the united states. germany more than most jammies have 3 pallets of its foreign policy import, cheap russian energy. use that to manufacture products that you sell to china and then the fed like of that still is you leave everything else to america. then the ground. brad at the base is that the fab, all 3 of those bags have been kicked out from under javi now. so it's been right this moment in any case, even without trump, but the, the manner in which trump is doing it. it's not in the friendly way, it's not in a we will then be more equal pot as if you share more of the button. it's that you are rivals, you're advisories, you will have access group. and g, i think, sees european liberal democracies as basically democrats abroad. so it's, there's

a sort of domestic field ways for impala, frankly, with your i want to tell our audience that if they can, to read an editorial that ran into financial times, that was the most blunt rob depiction of this moment. it was called america has turned on its friends. some of the things that it says are things. if you're not on the table at the table, you're on the menu that trump has contempt for allies that the world is a jungle with which the big players take what they want. but as you kind of look at it, and then you're sitting there and you're vladimir putin looking at how his fortunes have just changed so dramatically. mean, is he getting a green light just to begin proceeding into the territories and the nations around the buffer? because he doesn't believe europe has a security equation anymore. the defensive. so natal membership may not matter any more. for some of those countries, this does russia get a green light to begin marching through?

what used to be the soviet empire, where you are, right? let's say that the term did offer you trade may type membership. it's not going to happen. but let's say he did, since nobody tried the optical 5, the attack on one is an attack on old that trump believes in that overlap. how that would it be with this? and i think, you know, for all intensive purposes, nato is being treated as dead. and so it's a re creation of a european. they says that is the goal. now if you look at the trump critical minerals and gas and oil deal, but he's foisting on the crate on the landscape without any security guarantee attached. this is very little different to what he's saying about greenland, or what he's saying about the panama canal, which has carpet deposit agreement allegedly has. whereas in rice go minerals. and this is a parts of a, of, of a sort of drive to get. these results is out of china's hands, china has a,

you know, a choke hold on a lot of them, and they all visit them on the economy. they all key to the future, a economy we're all talking about. so this is a sort of private, pre foreign policy to predatory foreign policy bits and foreign policy. at the same time, it seems to be turning down the temperature on china, turning down the temperature even on iran, from down the temperature of clearly with russia. so is it, is it predatory, or is it kind of also a combination of, of the road countries in the world? yeah, i mean, it was very interesting to see the u. n vote. and which america violated against the resolution that blamed russia for inviting ukraine with a handful of really rugs gallery, north korea, date, north korea, russia, batteries, countries like that did not include china, did not include iran. iran upstate on this question. i think countries all over the world, whatever their ideology do not want a precedent of big naples coupling up smaller ones being seen as okay. i mean,

i actually turned on it's had this motor wants to blame somehow for invading themselves. i mean, i mean, you government republicans in this town and you ask them privately who is inside the who's to dictate their, their own, say, put him in public, they are cowed. they will say they will refuse to say that russia invited you create lots of them. and so what, what the president is here for the transfer of another country sufferings, the parts of the, well we haven't discussed or thought about it is very ominous. do you think rushes back in the in the g 8 and do you think the donald trump is going to throw a state dinner celebrating by them recruiting in the white house? i think that the 15 is going to invite trump to the may nights, may day parades and moscow. oh, and that trump will find it very hard to turn that viral photogenic, my mac down him looking over the red square with boot. and um,

so i have in the back of my head and, and something that trump sab offers 90 minute phone call with boots. and um, you know about we for a brother to brother in um, as of a 2nd level. made me think the offer was dangled during the phone call. this is a kind of thing from wouldn't timed out. um, so i would not be surprised. let's put it that way. so we're seeing a lot of things that seems so 19, thirties to me. we see people like you on mosque and others doing what, what, what some are saying, look like nazi salutes and others. they say no, that is not what they intended. would you see language? you see positioning, you see embrace of, of some of the problem added leaders in the world. and in this case, by them are put in how did, where did this come from in america? i mean, when does the, when does an ironic nazi salute become an ironic right? the question because it's now becoming a normal trolling and owning the lips of the hatred of sort

of a liberal, educated university new york times reading. cognitively, america is a huge part of this, not just domestically, but in terms of foreign policy towards europe and, and in terms of attitudes towards the kinds of things. liberals like multilateral institutions, rules treating your interlocutors with respect to, etc, of all of these things. a things that trump explicitly has contempt for unmasked as 2 masks criticism of germany is support for the f. b as criticisms of cas dhamma, his championing of a sex criminal. andrew take the title brothers who now come to the united states. they were being prosecuted in romania for sex trafficking, and sex abuse and ad pimping, and prostitution. and i'm running prostitute rackets. and they have welcome to tape

brothers to be rights and states. that is a middle finger to any sense of sort of rules, decency, decorum and it's quite intentional. and the reaction of those to support roles, decorum, decency, etc, is the point. this is the politics and it's also the foreign policy. so this understanding have this rule, this is, it's the, let me just ask you finally, if you have a book coming out of that, speak me a present sky president. jimmy carter is national security advisor. many of our viewers may not have ever heard of brzezinski, but i will tell them that he paid played a key role in really helping to end the cold war to bring down the soviet union. and he injected values into american foreign policy and very important ways. i, one, we both newest big presents key. i would love to hear what your thoughts of and how he would be reacting to this moment. but do you think there's a,

a gale in counterpoint that will begin to grow in america to what they're seeing on the foreign policy moved by president trump? that's interesting question. as you know, just as well as i do, which is key, was a great rival of kissinger. rodzinski was more than a human rights values based. his polish origins gave him a deep suspicion of the soviet union's claims to brotherhood. he swore it essentially as imperative them dressed up as boxes and kissinger was more of a real as then sort of believed in stabilizing balance of power between big, big states and the idea and a lot of apologists for trump that trump is a realist or a prioritize and switching from europe to china is i think, come late, sane washing of his foreign policy. there is a madness, the trump's foreign policy. i don't think you'll view as will need reminding of that gods of video, that sort of deep fake video that showed them the riviera in the middle east and the golden statues of trump. and netanyahu in trump, in swimming trunks, you know,

must loving a right delta bill. but we say that while it was the fake a i generated video, it was one that president trump put out himself on his truth social. is it a mattress? yeah, this is matt this and we have a very fragile talking at present scale because the era situation between is ram and age of the oldest and most valuable piece deal bought about by america could only be sustained by america. americans are interested, steve witt, coffee is, is that boy sees a man, sees the middle east as a real estate opportunity. and i went to an event the other night with that was exactly how he described it verbatim. he sees it as a real estate opportunity. that's a touch of madness. this isn't a foreign policy school. there's a touch of genuine insight as to you in, in this, in this approach to the rest of the well, a well financial times chief us commentator and communist at loose. thank you so

much for joining us today. very, very fascinating time. we're always a pleasure, steve. so what's the bottom line? we forget because it was a long time ago, but the united states used to be a fairly isolation as country. it's a curriculum and leadership by the president's during world war one and world war 2 for america to actually become part of the global challenges. then we're 20000000 people died. american made a huge investment to the marshall plan, to rebuild europe, and it created nato. both to perpetuate american power, but also to preempt any other wars on the continent. back then americans chief rival was the soviet union, and many in the west still conflate that old ussr with modern day russia. but president donald trump doesn't see russia as the enemy, but he does see europe as the bad guy in this story. it's a dramatic shift in american policy. the screening uncertainty around the world, which is another 12 trademark. every thing we thought we knew about u. s. foreign policy is being turned upside down and that's just not likely to go

smoothly. and that's the bottom line, the on the, [000:00:00;00]

the hello, i'm riley carlson and doha, here are the top stories on al jazeera. israel says it's ready to extend the ceasefire and gaza over the ramadan and pass over periods. the announcement came just minutes after the 1st phase of the original ceasefire deal with him last formerly ended. israel says the new plan was proposed by the us presidents on voice the what cough there's been no comment from us so far. palestinians in gaza spend their 1st day of ramadan and mid uncertainty about whether the ongoing cease fire
