Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff at the White House, said that U.S. President Donald Trump’s criticism of European countries at the World Economic Forum in Davos stems from the fact that Europe is “slowly destroying itself.”

In an interview with Fox News, Miller said: “His criticism of Europe during his Davos speech was among the most important statements ever made by an American president about the continent. Europe is slowly destroying itself by strangling its energy sector with regulations, relying on inefficient clean energy and on other countries. It is also destroying itself through irresponsible immigration policies, as well as by failing for years to invest in its armed forces, while relying on the United States to support European defense.”
During his address at the World Economic Forum on Wednesday, Trump stated that Washington is interested in having strong allies, and therefore Europe must change its policies, warning that European countries are experiencing a “collapse in the energy sector.”
Trump also expressed the view that most European countries would have seen their institutions unable to function normally and would have faced enormous security threats were it not for U.S. military support.
On Friday, The Washington Post quoted an unnamed European leader as saying that Europe will not forget the dismissive attitude shown by the Trump administration in its dealings with the continent. — (RT)
