Here’s something you won’t hear from the usual D.C. echo chamber: Europe is praising President Donald Trump. Yes, you read that right. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, European Union Ambassador to the U.S. Jovita Neliupšienė admitted that relations between the United States and the European Union are moving “in the very right direction” — thanks to the leadership of President Trump and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
That’s right — despite years of global media hysteria about Trump “alienating allies,” even Brussels is now acknowledging what Americans already knew: when Trump leads, the world listens.
“I think that they are going the very right direction,” Neliupšienė said, highlighting recent meetings between President Trump and Von der Leyen in Washington, Scotland, and on the sidelines of the NATO summit. “We have the most developed trade and investment relations. We have security alliances working. And I think that we are closer value-based allies than you can find around the world.”
In other words, the transatlantic partnership isn’t just surviving — it’s thriving.
The ambassador even drew attention to the personal chemistry between the two leaders. Von der Leyen, she said, is “competent” and “hands-on,” qualities that President Trump respects. “He likes people who have their things in their hands and can deliver,” she noted. “President Trump several times repeated publicly that she is a big boss. She’s a strong leader.”
Imagine that — a European leader Trump respects, and who respects him back. That’s what real diplomacy looks like.
The Biggest Trade Deal in History
This summer, while most of the media obsessed over gossip and polls, President Trump and Von der Leyen were busy reshaping the global economy. During a meeting at Trump’s Turnberry golf club in Scotland, the two announced what Neliupšienė called “the largest trade deal between any two entities in the world.”
How large? Try 35 to 45 percent of the entire global GDP. The deal covers an enormous range of goods — from autos to energy to semiconductors — and represents a shared commitment to strengthen Western economic power in the face of rising threats from China and beyond.
“It’s a massive thing,” Neliupšienė said. “Our trade relations are 1.7 trillion euros a year — 4.5 billion euros a day. That trade and investment creates more than 10 million jobs on both sides of the Atlantic.”
And true to his word, Trump wasted no time delivering. Within weeks of signing, he issued an executive order reducing tariffs across the board by 15 percent — while the EU followed suit, cutting car tariffs for American manufacturers. For once, America got a fair deal — and the world noticed.
Building Energy Security and High-Tech Investment
The ambassador also outlined ambitious plans for cooperation in energy and semiconductor production, areas where Trump’s “America First” strategy continues to pay dividends.
“There is a very clear pathway in the trade deal itself,” she explained, noting that the EU will jointly invest in the U.S. energy sector and purchase €40 billion worth of American semiconductor chips.
So much for the “trade war” narrative — Trump didn’t isolate the U.S., he made it indispensable.
A Common-Sense Approach to Borders and Migration
Even on the issue of migration — a topic that often divides Europe — Neliupšienė emphasized practical solutions, including technological border monitoring and targeted investment in Africa and Asia to reduce illegal migration at the source. In other words, the kind of forward-thinking approach Trump has championed all along: fix the problem before it reaches your borders.
“We have to invest quite a lot in technology at the border so you can actually see the people crossing,” she said. “If people have opportunities and jobs at home, they will stay.”
Sounds an awful lot like Trump’s border policy, doesn’t it?
The Bottom Line
The European ambassador’s comments paint a clear picture: under President Trump, U.S.-EU relations are not just stable — they’re stronger than ever. Trade is booming, security cooperation is deepening, and both sides are implementing policies grounded in realism and results, not globalist platitudes.
Despite years of fearmongering from the media class, the facts speak for themselves. Under Trump’s leadership, America didn’t “lose allies” — it gained respect.
As Ambassador Neliupšienė put it: “We are full speed ahead.”
That’s what winning looks like — not just for America, but for the free world.
