EU Foreign Affairs High
Representative Federica Mogherini said Wednesday she expected US
President Donald Trump to bring to Brussels "a message of
continuity after what Vice President (Mike) Pence brought on his
visit to EU institutions".
She said this was a "clear sign of attention and desire to
work together, without hiding possible points of divergence" on
some issues.
For the EU, she said, it remained "fundamental to continue to
work" on the Paris climate accord, the UN, multilateralism,
peacekeeping missions, humanitarian aid and development aid, and
to "work together" on Syria, Ukraine and the Middle East.
At the meeting between US and EU leaders tomorrow, she said,
there will be "points of potential divergence, points of certain
convergence and some bilateral issues such as the prospects for
bilateral trade accords which will be discussed by the leaders".
