USA - Insiders claim the US President has placed less emphasis on important transatlantic security partners and instead is focused on enhancing relations with strongman and authoritarian leaders. US relations with the UK, Germany and France are already at breaking point after a number of controversial decisions made by Mr Trump since he took office in 2017, including on climate change and the Iran nuclear deal. And they look to fray further as the US President welcomes Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban to the White House this week.
Nicholas Burns, a former US ambassador to Nato, said: “It is not lost on the Europeans that the President goes after the true democratic leaders and has refused to go after the true authoritarian figures. We are seeing a possible repudiation of what made the alliance viable over 70 years. President Trump does not believe that the EU is a valued ally. He believes that the EU is a competitor.”
US officials claim that Mr Trump’s attitude is driven by a desire to fix alliances that “have gone completely out of balance”. Germany could potentially fall victim to Mr Trump’s reevaluation of the US’ transatlantic alliances as he looks to implement a tough trade strategy. Berlin’s prized car industry could be dealt a massive blow as expectations grow that Mr Trump will finally follow through with his threat to impose tariffs on European motor vehicles.
“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”
The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
