Malta can no longer play a double game

The choice is clear: Appeasement of Trump or the Europe of democratic values.

Yesterday, Donald Trump announced that Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, and the UK will face a 10% tariff on all goods starting 1 February, rising to 25% on 1 June. He reiterated that this tariff “will be due and payable until such time as a deal is reached for the complete and total purchase of Greenland.”

Europe cannot and should not capitulate to such coercive tactics. The evident aim is to fragment European unity and establish a new global order based not on law, but on the principle that “might is right.”

This is not the conduct of an ally. Trump has proven he is no longer a reliable partner for Europe. Consequently, Europe must stand firm in defense of its core values of “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité.”

Momentum Leader Arnold Cassola stated: “This is a defining moment for Malta. The time for ambiguity is over. Robert Abela and Ian Borg must now decide: will they choose unity with our European partners, or subservience to a U.S. President employing blackmail?”

The PN must also break its silence and clearly declare its position. Alex Borg must clarify his stance: Does he still regard Donald Trump as his political role model, as he stated recently?

For us at Momentum, the choice is clear: unity with our European partners is Malta’s only viable path forward. Our future and security lie within the European family that harbours the values of peace, solidarity, and democracy.
