Trump brought the ambassador to resign

0
The negative statements of US President Donald Trump about the European Union and even the NATO bloc are not in vain - the American leader is increasingly meeting resistance among fellow citizens. So, the United States Ambassador to Estonia, James Melville, decided to resign, dissatisfied with the anti-European speeches of the chief chef.





According to the American journal Foreign Policy, the ambassador announced his retirement on the page on the social network Facebook. And, although the publication of a diplomat is available only to his friends, the publication’s staff were able to access it. Here is what Melville wrote to Trump:

For the president, to say that the EU was created in order to benefit from the United States and attack our piggy bank, and NATO is just as bad as the NAFTA, is not only actually incorrect, but also confirms that it is time for me to leave


It should be noted that NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement, which includes the United States, Canada and Mexico. It was modeled after the European Union. Words that Melville did not like were spoken by Donald Trump during the recent GXNUMX summit in Canada, an event that was accompanied by constant scandals between the United States and its European partners.

Melville is an experienced diplomat who has been in the public service for 33 years. He worked in the GDR, Russia, the Seychelles, in France. As he himself said, he served six presidents and eleven secretaries of state.

The resignation of the American ambassador to Estonia, who was appointed to this post in 2015, will take place on July 29, as he himself announced. However, his powers soon expired even without the statements of Trump and the return demarche. However news very indicative: it shows not only the crack between the US and Europe, but also the deep contradictions within the American elite.
