European Council President Donald Tusk has said that the United States is not interested in a “strong, united” Europe and called nationalism a “fundamental threat” to the European Union.
The former Prime Minister of Poland turned top Eurocrat made the comments at a speech in his home country on Saturday, the day before Poland celebrated the 100th anniversary of its rebirth as an independent state, with Poles taking part in a march through Warsaw on Sunday condemned by the mainstream media as “far-right” nationalism.
“For the first time in history we have an American administration which, to put it delicately, is not very enthusiastically tuned in to a united, strong Europe,” Tusk said.
Tusk’s notion that his vision of Poland may be different to that of the President of the United States does appear to be shared by the current Polish administration, after the country’s ambassador to the U.S. and the U.S. ambassador to Poland penned a joint article hailing the strong ties between the two countries that have been developed under President Trump, writing that “the bond between the United States and Poland is stronger than ever.”
Tusk also criticised the rise of “nationalism,” calling it a “fundamental threat” to the EU and saying it is “illustrated most clearly by Brexit.”
“I am talking here about the rise of nationalism and anti-European, not only rhetoric, but also anti-European emotion, in many European capitals,” the European Council President said, referring to the “lunatic parade” of Eurosceptics and patriots that “began a few years ago in the United Kingdom.”

The only thing Trump’s nationalism is a threat to is the rise of globalists control of our freedom. So Macron and every socialist can just bug off.
How about a Europe that pays its fair share?
Ironically, WWI was caused by A LACK OF NATIONALISM; The tinder box of Europe was caused by all the regional powers making alliances against what proved to be their nationalist interest. Why should England war against Germany? Why should a radical band of terrorists and anarchists in Serbia be anyone’s interests but Austria-Hungary?
Those pushing a globalist /anti-nationalism agenda today are the exact same people who were behind the USSR.
Both are products of Satan, trying to dupe the people of this world
Maybe the EU should be less autocratically fascist in its behaviors towards the peeps?
Britain needed and guaranteed a neutral Channel coast. When Germany invaded neutral Belgium, that neutrality was threatened, and Britain declared war.
The people of the various countries simply wish to maintain their various national identities. Not to be subsumed into a European or global identity.
I agree 100%!
Just like penicillin is a "fundamental threat" to venereal disease.

Well, duh. Why should I put them ahead of my country? When I am strong, and whole, and healthy, then, and only then, am I able to help others.
AHH. It is OK for the EU to advocate a strong united Europe? Seems like they (Globalists) only feel that way if Germany is running it. If we look back over the past 100 years every time Germany was at the helm, the European ship of state hit a reef. Big Time. Result, Totalitarianism, the Great Evil and the Big Lie.
How about all the puppet heads controlled by the globalsts
If I recall, most of Europe was once “united” under the boot heel of Adolph Hitler until the “nationalist” USA came to their rescue....
If being pro-Poland, pro UK, or pro-Hungary is being anti-EU then it’s proof the EU is on the wrong side of history.
Brits will rue the day that they got trapped in globalism. When the British stand around and debate what to do as their country is taken over by Muslims, they certainly shouldn’t call the nationalist USA to bail them out again.
Hitler wanted a strong, united Europe.
Albeit with himself in control.
Wow. Poles now how to party
