French Presidential Candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon:

With Trump, there is only one thing to discuss: business. It is pure imperialism, and that is the path the U.S. has chosen.

And don't think it's just Trump because he's violent and crude. Biden had the same strategy: rebuilding a North American fortress where American industry could grow behind tariff barriers.

They don't give a damn. They impose sanctions and lift them whenever it suits them. And now they're going to do business.

That's why it's not Trump's strategy that's the problem — it's the European strategy that's pathetic.
