In a wide-ranging interview, the European Parliament president backs “change” in Iran as Trump threatens war, but she doesn’t want U.S. “interference” in EU politics.
She’s not Donald Trump’s biggest foe in Europe — yet.
But European Parliament President Roberta Metsola wants the White House to know its attempts to influence politics in Europe are not welcome.
In an interview with POLITICO, Metsola said the European Union won’t express a preference on who should win the U.S. midterm elections in November. But U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio weighed in to endorse Viktor Orbán in Budapest this month, ahead of Hungary’s general election coming up in April.

I take it as mocking them
Proper point!

She has issued MAGA a challenge, not a turning-away.

The EU needs to be mitigating Trump actively, not merely passively, & I don’t see any evidence that they’ve got the spine or political-will to do that, at the tempo required for their viability to survive.
