TA3: Vladimír Bartovic on the meeting of the US President and President of the European Commission

Our Vladimír Bartovic comments the meeting of the US President Donald Trump and President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker

Our Vladimír Bartovic comments the meeting of the US President Donald Trump and President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker. What are the expectations for this meeting when the relationship of the US and the EU is not at its best?

In this case, he will not be negotiating with European politics he is accustomed to. He will be dealing with the American President Donald Trump who is unpredictable. We saw it multiple times during his one-and-a-half year period he is in the office so far. He suprised not only his partners abroad, but also his own fellows at home. The important thing will also be the mutual personal liking, and so fat it doesn't seem that there will be a huge friendship.

Full interview in Slovak language is available here in TA3 archive.
