Trump downgrades EU’s status in US from nation state to international organisation
Voice of Europe ^ | 1/10/19

The Trump administration has downgraded the diplomatic status of the EU in Washington, without informing Brussels, officials confirmed on Tuesday.

The downgrade reverses an Obama administration decision in 2016 to grant the EU an enhanced diplomatic role in Washington, and is being seen in Brussels as a snub reflecting a general antipathy to the EU in the Trump administration.

The change, potentially means that the EU mission would have less clout and access to US officials

Haha. The EU isn’t a nation state anyway, despite what they may want to be.

The EU is neither a nation nor a state. I’m sure there would be a lot of Europeans who would be surprised to learn that the US thought it was both.

It appears that the eu mainly is a way for germany to conquer europe. Secondarily, the globalist losers see such things as the eu as a way of eliminating sovereignty...making everyone (except them) serfs or slaves to their dictates. Go President Trump! MAGA. Crush the globalist fascists!

When folks wish to focus on something that Trump didn’t do, I hope they remember the 100s or 1000s of things he did do.

I doubt there’s another man out there that would have done this for us.

Yes, it’s symbolic. It sure sends a message though.

”...the globalist losers see such things as the eu as a way of eliminating sovereignty...making everyone (except them) serfs or slaves to their dictates.”

Exactly right. Also, even if the globalists gained control of 99% of the world, they would not relent until that final 1% was conquered as well. The reason is that there must be no free safe havens remaining to which people can flee if the globalist dream (nightmare) is to reach fruition. That’s why they have been trying for decades to bring the United States down to the level of “just another country.” They can’t succeed so long as liberty exists anywhere on the globe.

The same thing has happened to a large degree with the sovereignty of states within the U.S. Ever-growing federal control has made it much more difficult to escape objectionable policies in one state by moving to another with policies you find more agreeable. When so many laws emanate from D.C., there is nowhere to run to escape them. That is not an accident.

Completely agree...there has NEVER been a President who did what he said for the good of THIS country. No matter what else happens I will remember that he tried when he never had to...

A boost for the Brexiteers and the handful of nations (Hungary et al) that value sovereignty.
