Intensifying tension in metlantic after the abolition of Rubio-Kalas
“The tensions between the US and the European Union have intensified,” the US News Agency, referring to the sudden cancellation of a pre -planned meeting between the US Secretary of State and the EU foreign policy chief.
The planned meeting between EU foreign policy chief Kaya Calas and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was abruptly canceled on Wednesday evening due to “planning problems”.
The US News Agency, referring to Washington’s sudden decision to cancel the meeting, has reportedly reported that political tensions between Europe and the United States have increased after Calas’s visit to Washington.
According to the US News Agency, officials in each of the two sides see planning challenges as the cause of the visit of these four senior foreign policy officials in Washington.
However, European officials told the Associated Press that they were surprised.
Calas has been “shocked” most of all, as he had coordinated his planned talks with Rubio just seven days ago, according to the US News Agency.
According to the news agency, in recent weeks, US President Donald Trump has had a chaos between the country and Europe with its threats to higher tariffs on imports from Europe, which he says is in line with US product tariffs. EU officials have traveled to Washington to prevent a trade war.
Senior Trump administration officials have also warned Europe that they must take responsibility for their security, including Ukraine, and have abandoned Europeans from initial negotiations with Russia to end the war. In a significant change, the United States separated from its European allies by refusing to blame Russia for this week’s invasion of Ukraine at the United Nations and supported Moscow and against the resolution.

Calas also said on Monday that he would talk to Rubio “about the issues that are both favorite of us”. According to the US News Agency, these issues are mainly for the European Union, mainly the Russian war against Ukraine and transcriptive relations.
“It is clear that US statements are concerned about us,” the EU foreign policy chief told reporters after the EU’s foreign ministers’ meeting.
Calas said he hoped the EU and the United States will continue to work.
But after the sudden cancellation of his meeting with Rubio, the EU’s foreign policy chief office in a short message referred all questions about the cancellation of the meeting in a short statement to the US State Department.
In an interview with the Associated Press, a senior US official said the reason for the sudden cancellation of the meeting was abolished by Rubio’s public program, saying, “It was canceled because of the inevitable planning conflict.”
But according to the US News Agency, a domestic note was released last week by the US State Department’s Policy Planning Office, referring to plans to hold a meeting between Rubio and Calcis.
Although Calas’s visit to Rubio was halted, the EU foreign policy chief was to meet with US senators and members of Congress to discuss the war in Ukraine and the European Union and the United States.
The ambiguity of why the Rubio and Kalas summit cancels has aroused the outrage of EU officials.
In an interview with Palitco, an EU diplomat said: “It seems that the Trump administration does not hesitate to ignore the EU. “He is showing the European Union that he is no longer a political actor.”
The cancellation of the Calas and Rubio summit is the latest Trump administration’s destructive actions in US relations with the European Union. Earlier, Brussels was angry at Trump’s unaware of US President Vladimir Putin and Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump’s economic threats.
“It is amazing,” the cyberspace users wrote in the first month of their government. “Within a month, it destroyed a 5 -year diplomatic relationship.”
