Former US President Donald Trump recently made a bold assertion that European leaders now refer to him as the “President of Europe”. This claim comes after a White House meeting on August 18, where Trump met with representatives from over 35 countries, including NATO’s Mark Rutte and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, to discuss a potential Ukraine ceasefire.
However, Trump’s statement has been met with skepticism by many Europeans on social media, who insist that the title was never used. The claim has sparked debate, with some questioning the validity of Trump’s assertion.
The meeting, which aimed to address the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, brought together top figures from major European nations. While the discussion focused on finding a resolution to the crisis, Trump’s claim about being referred to as “President of Europe” has raised eyebrows.
No official statement or confirmation from European leaders has been made to support Trump’s claim. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how this assertion will impact diplomatic relations between the US and Europe.
