Top diplomat responds to Trump's comment that EU formed to 'screw' US

Chief EU diplomat Kaja Kallas argued the EU is a "peace project," not an organization meant to "screw" the United States.

Kallas went on to affirm the wide base of support for Ukraine in Europe, and that she has been coordinating with French President Emanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

"The fight that Ukraine is having is not only about Ukraine sovereignty, but it's much, much broader. It's about freedom of the free world, really. It is about the world where international law applies and the world where might does not make right," she said.

Kallas' comments come after Trump blasted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at a White House meeting on Friday. He insisted that Ukraine doesn't "have the cards" and must sue for peace rather than relying on an indefinite flow of aid from the U.S.
