US President Donald Trump considers Europe weak and divided.

Axar.az reports former US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken made this statement in an interview with Times Radio.

He is confident that Trump sees Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Turkish President Recep Erdogan, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as strong leaders.

"Frankly, when he looks at Europe, I think he sees a continent that is not strong, that he thinks is not united, that is a weaker player. And so I think part of the challenge for Europe, for the president to take it seriously, is to demonstrate more cohesion, more unity, more common purpose, because then Europe has to be taken more seriously," Blinken said.
