Biden: European leaders concerned about Trump's rhetoric

 

Former Vice President Biden said in an interview on Tuesday that European leaders are reeling from President Trump's hostile rhetoric toward them.

“The things that are the most debilitating from the perspective of most of the Europeans is the way he conducts himself when he is with allies,” Biden told The Washington Post. “Several of them have said to me the degree of disrespect shown is debilitating."

“Several of them have spoken to me about what was referred to as his gratuitous criticism of [German Chancellor Angela] Merkel, who is in a tough spot already,” he continued. “They’ve never seen anything like that before.”

Biden made the comments at the at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit, which was attended by various western leaders, including Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
