European Council President Donald Tusk said in a letter to EU leaders that "the change in Washington puts the European Union in a difficult situation, with the new administration seeming to put into question the last 70 years of American foreign policy." Trump has insisted on policies that put the United States first, and has questioned whether NATO members are contributing their fair share to the alliance. Tusk laid out a defense of the European Union, saying it has never faced more dangerous challenges and requires "courage, determination and political solidarity." He said the European Union must stand up for its dignity in talks with the United States, Russia, China or Turkey, and it must not give in to populist arguments and xenophobic sentiments that go against European integration.
