According to a media report, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas wants to improve the EU's relations with US President Donald Trump. "The US is and will remain our most important partner. But there is no doubt that the new administration has profoundly changed the style and manner in which the US conducts policy and conducts its official business," Kallas said in an interview with the Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND), according to a preliminary report.

"Trump's approach is very business-oriented. We must therefore constantly ask ourselves: What do we want to achieve, what does the other side want, and what leverage do we have?" Europeans must adapt to this. "My goal is to improve relations with the US again and to coordinate our steps more closely with Washington in countering Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine," Kallas said, according to the report.

Real progress has already been made in this regard in recent weeks. The EU, together with the US, must find ways to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to make peace.
