Politico: Europe accuses the United States of profiting from the war in Ukraine
Washington (ST): The American newspaper Politico revealed that European officials are angry at the United States’ policies towards the Ukrainian crisis. At a time when the European Union countries are suffering from an energy crisis, inflation and economic recession, the United States is making a fortune as a result of the continuation of this conflict.
The newspaper quoted a senior European official as saying: “The truth is that if we look at the matter calmly, the country that benefits most from this war is the United States, because it sells more gas at higher prices, and the same applies to weapons.”
The newspaper pointed out that European officials have expressed, privately and publicly, their concern about the growing anger in Europe over the subsidies provided by America for gas and energy in its lands, while their prices are rising in the old continent, which threatens to destroy the European industry.
Politico said a senior EU official described the situation as a historic turning point, adding, “The double strike of trade disruption and high energy prices risks turning public opinion against the war effort and the transatlantic alliance and threatens to destroy Western unity on the Ukraine crisis.”
