Trump Urges Europe to Strengthen on Energy, Immigration

President Donald Trump called on European leaders to “strengthen up,” arguing that parts of Europe have shifted in ways he says are weakening the region’s global standing.

Speaking about transatlantic relations and sanctions policy, Trump suggested Europe must take a firmer approach on energy policy and immigration. He contrasted different European nations, referencing countries such as Hungary, Poland, and Czech Republic as examples of governments pursuing different policy paths.

The president argued that energy costs and migration challenges are central issues shaping Europe’s future, warning that failure to address them could significantly impact the region’s economic competitiveness and identity. His remarks come amid ongoing discussions about U.S.-Europe relations and broader geopolitical tensions.
