 The EU-U.S rift over the Ukraine war is out in the open as the conflict enters its tenth month. 

Senior officials of the European Union are angry at the Biden administration for capitalising on the Ukraine war and the bloc's economic problems, according to media outlet Politico's report. 

“The fact is, if you look at it soberly, the country that is most profiting from this war is the U.S. because they are selling more gas and at higher prices, and because they are selling more weapons,” one senior official said.

 The explosive comments, backed in public and private by officials, diplomats and ministers elsewhere, follow mounting anger in Europe over American subsidies that threaten to wreck European industry.  

 “We are really at a historic juncture,” the senior EU official said, arguing that the double hit of trade disruption from U.S. subsidies and high energy prices risks turning public opinion against both the war effort and the transatlantic alliance. “America needs to realize that public opinion is shifting in many EU countries.”

Well, to the EU, don't act too surprised. You saw that from the beginning when the President insisted on suspended Nord Stream 2.    Just a thought.
