EU-emergency meeting in reponse to TRUMPs victory

.

Trump’s move infuriated members of Europe’s fraying core, with Carl Bildt, the former Swedish prime minister, tweeting:

.

“If Trump wanted to look statesmanlike to Europe,
receiving Farage was probably the worst thing he could [do].”

.

Zwischenbemerkung:
„Alter Schwede“ ist das aber eine Schmach, dass in TRUMPs Team das wichtigtuerische Mitglied einer skandinavischen Adelsfamilie nicht bekannt ist!

Dies schmerzt wohl um so mehr, da Bildt dem hardcore Atlantikernetzwerk im Board of Trustees von Friends of Europe angehört.

.. and by the way Mr. Bildt:
It seems that neither the President-elect nor his team-members really care about your disruptive opinion!

As the FT adds, British foreign secretary Boris Johnson dropped out of the Brussels meeting, with officials arguing that it created an air of panic, while French foreign minister Jean-Marc Ayrault opted to stay in Paris to meet the new UN secretary-general.
Hungary’s foreign minister boycotted the meeting, labeling the response from some EU leaders as “hysterical”.

.

Johnson’s refusal to attend will add to an already difficult relationship with his German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who has told colleagues that he cannot bear to be in the same room as the British foreign secretary.

.

In short: total chaos.
