EU Says Relations With US "Worsening"
Looks like we have figured out who our friends are and who they are not. The EU asked the President to come over and make a speech to the European Parliament in Strasbourg. When they would not promise to show the President a modicum of respect (no heckling or protesting in the chamber during the speech), the President turned them down.
The EU is taking this pretty hard, especially after the President went to Prague to welcome many of the Warsaw Pact members into NATO. But the difference is that NATO is not reflexively opposed to everything we do, as the EU is.
The Mirror's source opines, "Relations between the EU and the US are worsening fast." It is refreshing to see someone in Europe picking up on the deteriorating condition of Trans-Atlantic relations. Perhaps they can ask themselves why we don't like them. Then they can just get over it. If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander.
