The EU as a confidence builder between the US and China: Some simplistic recommendations for European leaders

Faced with the immense challenges that the US-China confrontation poses to the world, Europe must be aware that it is not a negligible player, that it must publicly state its specific interests (peace, prosperity, autonomy), and build a strategy aimed at not getting trapped in the wars of others, following one guideline: to base the new global system on TRUST.

. The EU and its member states must remind everyone of their status as mediators during the previous cold war, their DNA of understanding and integrating the diversity of views and ideologies, and their original mission as peacemakers.
