German Vice Chancellor says transatlantic ties are 'disintegrating'
""The transatlantic alliance is undergoing a much more profound upheaval than we may have been willing to admit until now,""
""The transatlantic relationship as we have known it is currently disintegrating.""
""While Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela's former president who was captured in a US raid on Caracas, was a 'brutal dictator', Washington's military action had violated 'the principles of international law'""
""We are currently living in the midst of a historic period of upheaval ... in which all the certainties we could rely on in Europe are under pressure,""
Transatlantic ties between Europe and the United States are experiencing profound upheaval and appear to be disintegrating amid policies from the Trump administration. Recent US actions cited include a raid in Caracas that captured Venezuela's former president Nicolas Maduro, characterized as a 'brutal dictator', alongside concerns that the military action violated 'the principles of international law'. Additional US behavior such as threats to other Latin American countries, comments in the US national security strategy about Europe's 'civilisational erasure', and suggestions of seizing Greenland have intensified pressure on European certainties and strained longstanding shared interests in free trade and open markets.
