EU Warns Trump Over Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal
EU countries are worried that US President Donald Trump is not considering their interests in the Russia-Ukraine peace talks.
They might use their financial power, as they hold a lot of US debt, to influence the situation.
Experts say that if the EU sells these bonds, it could cause a big financial problem for the US.
Trump is trying to keep the talks small at first, but the EU is an important player and might retaliate if ignored.
This shows how countries' economies are connected and can affect each other.
EU countries fear Trump is ignoring their interests in the Russia-Ukraine peace deal.
EU holds $2.34 trillion in US Treasuries, which they could sell to pressure the US.
Selling these bonds could lead to a worse financial crisis than the 2008 crisis.
Trump is initially limiting stakeholders in the peace talks but may involve NATO later.
EU countries see themselves as key players in the peace deal due to security concerns.
