Watch: Trump Lessons – PL MP Says EU Must Prioritise Citizens Over Ukraine War Funding
Labour MP Alex Muscat said Donald Trump’s US election victory should send a message to the EU that it must prioritise helping its own people over funding war in Ukraine.
“I don’t understand the EU’s hardheaded refusal to help citizens deal with high energy costs, and I’m speaking as an economist too,” Muscat said on ONE’s Paperscan yesterday.
“I disagree with the EU’s strategy burdening the people, leading to a rise in poverty, while at the same time we’re spending billions on weapons for the war in Ukraine.”
“We can find money for that but not to help European families deal with rising energy prices.”
“The Americans sent a message that they care about their own wellbeing. I think Europe must understand this lesson and follow the current of what global citizens want, and we must take care of ourselves as Malta is doing.”
