little chance i would think of a manual micron's plan working there there's also big differences between paris and brussels when it comes to finance and reform of the eurozone now angela merkel she favors the founding of a european monetary fund that would be a body that was able to provide funds to failing banking systems and some senses but also it would be able to investigate nation's financial systems to see when things are going wrong now there's a lot of opposition to that because it says that while people say that brussels would have too much power to snoop into individual countries fiscal goings on there under merkel has also said that she favors the establishment of an e.u. investment fund now the idea behind this is simmie make sure that all economies across the eurozone a growing at around the same rate that nobody gets left behind nobody storms out in front however the plan that she's talking about in order to do that that would require billions of euros of investment in fact in one. merkel's own words she expects it to be a low double digit billion budget but in no place does she

paris. well this show jeweled meeting between president of france and the new italian prime minister. was planned but has been overshadowed by what happened with the aquarius the ngo ship which was refused entry to italian ports and is due to arrive in violence here in spain there was a harsh war of words if you like this week between paris and rome with the french government suggesting italy had acted cynically and the italians pointing the finger back up front saying that they weren't taking meeting their commitments to take in migrants from italy and the coaches agreed back in twenty fifteen while at the final press conference on friday both leaders said that they'd be working hand in hand in the next few weeks to come up with solutions how to repair what they call a broken system the immigration and asylum policy of the whole you president micro highlighted the dublin agreement which says that good migrants can only claim asylum in the first e.u. country where they are processed and generally that's italy or greece the italian premier said italy would come up with its own ideas in

as well as a big difference disagreement about what is important and what should be principles between paris on one side and washington on the other choice but it's also about valuables in many ways the atlantic alliance from the late forty's on which was one in which the united states was to create an economic crisis for security and geopolitical advantage and so the marshall plan which meant that there were certain trade imbalances that were valued. the west european economies and initially it expensive states but overall everybody benefited now trump is saying it has to be a cost benefit analysis on that basis and putting america first means america has to come out on top and of course in schools the serious problems to european industries in finance in general because something that the united states is sort of spent most of the works at all since their actions against iran do sanctions on russia and so on which have a big effect and then also try. to kill a it's a view of the world which the your people and which simply repeated media regards with horns court record so there's a problem

that's right so in the last week there's been a war of words between paris and rome after italy suggested a statement from the italian prime minister's office suggested but. sorry the french prime minister's office suggesting that italy had reacted irresponsibly and with cynicism by turning away the aquarius the n.-g. o. rescue boat carrying over six hundred migrants the boat which is now a. volunteer in spain a couple of days after it was sent to turned away from italy. the route started and the talian interior minister mark vaile salvini head of the right wing league a well known anti migration campaigner previously said that he wanted an apology from france all this summer to the elysee palace should not happen while it is of course happening after a phone call from president emanuel my call wednesday night he didn't apologize but he made it clear that he didn't mean to insult italy or the italian people now the italian government have been pointing out that in the last. six months or so from the beginning of this year until the thirty first of may they say that france turned away ten

he's backed out of the two most important diplomatic agreements between the paris accord and european union. he regularly personally attacks european leaders on twitter, reserving the most vicious treatment for germanyp the most undisputed leader of the eu. he cheers the breakup of the european union. he traffics european white nationalist propaganda through his social media feed. trying to open rather than heal racial and ethnic divides in europe. and he said russia should rejoin the g-7 without a consult with our european partners. this is all led one of the greatest friends of the u.s./europe relationship, carl built to say, is putin interfering and trying to destabilize the policies of the eu? yes, but trump at the moment is far worse. the president's hostility is making the challenges that we face jointly all the more difficult from brexit to the rise of populism, finding the solution to immigrant flows, fighting terrorism, the united states should be standing side by side with our allies in europe, not trying to break apart this relationship. i hope that you will continue to ser
