– Of course there are a lot of criticisms, but I think some of them are also valid – said Kallas at the Doha Forum, an annual diplomatic conference in the Qatari capital, in response to a question about the American strategy. — The United States remains our greatest ally… I think we do not always agree on all issues, but the general principle remains the same. We are the greatest allies and we must stick together.

The document formalizes the attack launched by the government of US President Donald Trump months ago against Europe, accusing the bloc of exploiting American generosity, which represents a radical break with previous American policies.

—Europe has underestimated its power. “Regarding Russia, for example… we must be more self-confident,” Kalas said.

Countries such as Germany, Belgium and Italy criticized the new US strategy the day before. German Foreign Minister Johan Wadevoll stated that he did not need “external advice” on how to run the free European societies. “Many Europeans will find this very disturbing,” said Ian Lesser, head of the German Marshall Fund’s Belgium office.

Without citing it directly, the US document states that the United States should support political parties in Europe that fight immigration and promote nationalism. This describes many far-right parties, such as the UK Reform Party and the AfD.

Ukrainian and American authorities will hold a third consecutive day of negotiations in Miami on Saturday, in discussions aimed at ending more than three years of war with Russia.

Washington’s plan includes Ukraine ceding the territories that Russia failed to occupy on the battlefield in exchange for security guarantees that do not live up to Kiev’s aspirations to join NATO.
