In a recent interview with France24, Bernard Guetta, a veteran journalist and centrist Member of the European Parliament, expressed significant concerns regarding Donald Trump’s leadership and its impact on international relations. Guetta argued that under Trump's influence, the United States cannot be considered a reliable ally to Europe.

Guetta’s primary criticism centered on Trump’s public statements concerning the war in Ukraine. He accused the former president of misleading the American public by suggesting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the Ukrainian resistance were responsible for rising diesel prices. Guetta characterized these claims as a "pure lie," asserting that Trump’s own foreign policy decisions—specifically his approach to Iran—were the actual catalysts for global instability.

Furthermore, Guetta highlighted the importance of intelligence cooperation between the U.S. and Ukraine. He expressed alarm at the prospect of the U.S. withholding intelligence, suggesting that such a move would weaken Ukraine's defense efforts. Guetta went as far as to suggest that Trump’s rhetoric and policy shifts effectively provide support to Russian President Vladimir Putin. These comments reflect a broader anxiety among some European political figures regarding the potential for a shift in American foreign policy and the stability of the transatlantic alliance should Trump return to power.
