European Union’s delegation for US relations has criticized US President Donald Trump’s approach to trans-Atlantic relations, warning that the divisions it creates will only embolden global rivals.
In a letter sent to members of the US Congress on Wednesday, the delegation said that the EU and US should stand together to face shared challenges from countries such as China, Russia and Iran.
The delegation has also condemned the demotion of the EU ambassador to the US in the Diplomatic Order of Precedence to the bottom of the list.
It said Trump administration changed the bloc’s diplomatic status in Washington, without notifying Brussels.
An EU spokesperson told reporters that the union has asked the US to explain the move.
