She said rhetoric such as &#171;my relationship with you is great, but I don&#8217;t like the European Union&#187; is part of a &#171;divide and rule&#187; strategy.<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&#171;I am very concerned because sometimes I see countries going down that path,&#187; she said. &#171;Division actually works.&#187;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n\tSeveral EU countries have tried to maintain their own channels of communication with Washington following Donald Trump&#8217;s return to the White House, with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni positioning herself as a potential bridge between Europe and the US; however, this strategy faltered following Trump&#8217;s criticism of Pope Leo XIV.<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n\tKallas urged EU countries to defend the European Union and strike deals through its institutions, stating regarding the US, China, and Russia: &#171;Why do these states want to break up the European Union \u2014 because we are much stronger when we are together.&#187;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n\tThe former Estonian Prime Minister also stated that Europe has a &#171;very clear understanding of the diagnosis of the disease&#187; when it comes to China, but does not yet have an agreement on the treatment.<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n\tShe said there are two options: either increasing the &#171;morphine&#187; \u2014 the subsidies that EU countries provide to industry, or starting &#171;chemotherapy,&#187; meaning the use of tools the EU possesses, such as foreign direct investment, public procurement, and diversification of critical raw material supplies.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u0546\u0575\u0578\u0582\u0569\u0565\u0580\u0568  \u0563\u0565\u0576\u0565\u0580\u0561\u0581\u057e\u0578\u0582\u0574 \u0565\u0576
