Germany’s Globalist President Says US “Destroying World Order”

The EU’s increasingly unpopular, globalist political class is crashing out after President Donald Trump ordered the US to withdraw from a wide array of international organizations tied to climate policy, gender ideology, and what his administration has labeled “woke global governance.

The backlash from Europe appears rooted in its dependency on the US. For decades, EU leaders have relied on American funding, military protection, and diplomatic cover while criticizing its domestic politics. Trump’s refusal to continue underwriting that arrangement has laid bare the imbalance.

The dispute and fiery—and more than likely empty—rhetoric is based on a fundamental disagreement about power and sovereignty. It’s no secret that the EU’s leadership remains deeply invested in a global liberal, rules-based system enforced through multilateral institutions, even as those rules increasingly reflect their own increasingly unpopular ideological preferences.

Trump’s approach, meanwhile, rejects that premise outright. Rather than preserving old, ossified, institutions for their own sake, his administration has made clear it will judge alliances and organizations solely on whether they advance concrete American interests.

To Europe’s managerial elite class—particularly in Berlin—that stance is simply unforgivable. To Trump’s supporters, it is long overdue.
