President of the Council of Europe: Mr. Trump has more dialogue with North Korea than with Europe

---

Mr. Charles Michel, President of the Council of Europe, expressed his hope to soon return to more respectful dialogues with Washington under Joe Biden.

According to Politico , European Council President Charles Michel on January 24th said that the presidency of Donald Trump destroyed the transatlantic relationship between the US and the European Union (EU), but the Mr. Joe Biden's election is expected to help the two sides return to a more respectful dialogue.

Mr. Michel said, It is certain that the past few years have destroyed (EU - PV) relations with the US ... Unfortunately, it is no joke that the previous president had more talks with North Korea than with Europe.

These views were raised by Mr. Charles Michel in an interview with radio Europe on January 24.

He said, with Mr. Joe Biden, we expect a more casual, respectful dialogue ... on many issues such as climate change, for a more objective, positive and exciting alliance.

Shortly after taking the oath of office, Joe Biden signed a series of decrees to reverse policies under Donald Trump, from bringing the United States back to the Paris climate agreement to the revocation of the construction project construction of Keystone XL Pipeline oil pipeline.

Even so, Michel said he was very real to understand that the effects of Trump's policies would not disappear entirely.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian also agrees with Michel, saying that transatlantic relations have been badly damaged under Trump.

Le Drian told France Inter Radio, It will not be the same as before because ... perhaps indirectly regarding Mr. Trump, the EU has become more confident, more mature and no longer naive.
