Trump management a ‘challenge’ for Europe: Hollande

Berlin: The Trump administration is a “challenge” for Europe, French President Francois Hollande on Friday said. He said it is also faces the internal threat of rising extremism and populism. Hollande was speaking at a press conference in Berlin after a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

“To be honest, there are challenges from the new US administration; challenges regarding rules of commerce, regarding the way we think conflicts across the world should be solved,” Hollande said.

“Of course, we need to speak to Donald Trump, because he was elected by the US (citizens) to be their president, but we should speak to him from the European point of view, promoting our interests and values.”
