BlockBeats news, on May 14, former U.S. Secretary of State Blinken stated in an interview that current President Trump only respects hardline leaders. He also mentioned that Trump currently views Europe as weak and divided, and urged European leaders to bravely confront the White House. Blinken said: "In my view, when Trump looks at the world, he focuses on several aspects. From his perspective, he is concerned with strong leaders or strong countries. To be honest, when he examines Europe, I feel he sees a continent that is neither strong nor united, a weaker actor. Therefore, I think in order for Europe to gain President Trump's attention, part of the challenge is to demonstrate greater cohesion, higher unity, and clearer common goals, because only then will Europe be taken more seriously."
