Collective Response to Maneuvers Against the EU

The Cypriot Presidency is trying to manage the crisis and promote dialogue with the US. The article emphasizes the need for a common European position towards American policies, but acknowledges that there are different approaches among member states. Reaching consensus is essential for the EU to act effectively and protect its interests.

A decisive stance is necessary to prevent the arbitrariness and extreme behavior of the American President. The article concludes by emphasizing that a collective defeat will have negative consequences for Europe, especially in a period of geopolitical uncertainty.
