The EU’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, has warned that the US, China, and Russia all prefer a fragmented Europe because a united EU represents a geopolitical force capable of challenging major powers.
Speaking at the Lennart Meri Conference in Tallinn, the Estonian capital, on Sunday, Kallas said the EU’s collective strength is precisely why external powers have sought to undermine it.
“They don’t like the European Union; that’s very clear,” she said. “If we stick together, if we operate together, then we are equal powers; we are strong.”
Her remarks come as European leaders grapple with uncertainty over Washington’s long-term commitment to European security.
