US President Donald Trump said the situation in Europe has become so critical that the continent is being "eaten alive," according to remarks he made while addressing supporters at an event in Texas.
Trump's comments extended his recurring criticism of European policy and the continent's political and economic trajectory, though he did not detail specific evidence to support the characterization during the remarks reported.
The statement comes amid ongoing tension between Washington and European capitals over a range of issues, including trade, energy policy and the war in Ukraine, which have periodically strained the transatlantic relationship under the current administration.
European officials have not yet issued a direct response to the specific remark. Trump has made similar sweeping statements about Europe's condition on previous occasions, often framing them within broader arguments about immigration, energy costs and security spending among European Union member states.
The comments were reported by Russian state media outlet TASS, which has frequently highlighted Trump's critical remarks about Europe.
