EU president tears into Donald Trump: 'with friends like that who needs enemies'

The president of the European Council has torn into Donald Trump, warning that the US president is a bad friend who acts with “capricious assertiveness”. Speaking on Wednesday Donald Tusk said he was “grateful” for Mr Trump because he had “made us realise that if you need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of your arm”. The EU leader told reporters at a summit in the Bulgarian capital Sofia that Europe had to be prepared to go it alone in some circumstances because the new shift in American politics made the US an unreliable ally.
