    Europe no longer Washington’s centre of gravity, shift is structural, EU’s Kallas says

    -

    BRUSSELS, Jan ​28 (Reuters) - Europe is no longer Washington's primary centre of gravity ⁠and the shift is structural, not temporary, European Union foreign policy ‍chief Kaja Kallas said on Wednesday ​as European leaders grapple with how to adjust to U.S. President Donald ​Trump's approach to the transatlantic relationship.

    Speaking at the European Defence Agency's annual conference, she added that while the EU ‌still seeks strong transatlantic ties and ‌the United States will remain an ​ally, Europe must adapt to new realities, and "NATO needs to become ‌more European to maintain its strength".

    "The ⁠risk of a full-blown return ‌to coercive ​power politics, spheres of influence and a world where might makes right, ⁠is very ⁠real", she also said.
