Trump says Europe is being “eaten alive” due to economic problems

European countries are facing serious problems, so one could say that Europe is literally being “eaten alive.” This speech pattern was used by United States President Donald Trump when discussing the economic situation in the European Union at a meeting with supporters in Texas, TASS reports.

“Look what is happening in Europe. They are simply devoured alive,” said the American leader. He did not provide details of what specific challenges he was talking about.

Earlier, French leader Emmanuel Macron admitted that Russian gas was the basis of the competitiveness of European industry. He complained that available energy resources from the Russian Federation fed Central Europe, which was the production core and pulled other sectors of the economy with it, and the EU itself refused supplies.
