EU Council President warns of bloc's collapse

European Council President Costa has issued a stark warning about the future of the European Union, telling fellow leaders that following the United States' foreign policy course risks the bloc's collapse. Citing sources, Bloomberg reports that Costa argued Washington's interests no longer align with Europe's, pointing to the US operation in Venezuela, military action in Iran, and President Trump's approach to the Ukraine conflict as key examples of this divergence. The remarks highlight a growing strategic rift within the transatlantic alliance under the current US administration.
