Jean-Pierre Raffarin is concerned the US administration is targeting individual EU states for British-style bilateral deals to test the solidarity of the bloc
Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are likely to attempt to “draw the map of Europe to their own design” in the fallout from Brexit, a group of senior French politicians have warned.
The new American President, they say, may use the Government’s desperate need for a trade deal with the US after Brexit as a template to undermine and weaken the European Union.
Theresa May was the first foreign leader to visit the White House after the election and Mr Trump has declared that a new trade deal between the US and UK would take place swiftly after Brexit.
European diplomats point out that London has repeatedly played the “Trump card” in claiming that leaving the European single market will not have adverse economic consequences.
