European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has delivered a bold statement: “The West as we knew it no longer exists.” In a powerful new interview, she blames President Trump’s aggressive tariffs—20% on EU goods and 25% on cars—for collapsing the once-strong transatlantic alliance.

Trump Gets 47% Approval Rating Within 3 Months; Massive Support For Trump’s Border, Trade Policies

Trump Hits 47% Approval in Three Months. Three months into his second term, former U.S. President Donald Trump has reached his highest approval rating at 47%, according to an NBC News poll. Despite ongoing criticism of his economic policies, Trump enjoys massive support for his border security measures (56%) and trade policies (41%). The poll also reveals that 44% of voters believe the country is on the right track—the highest since 2004. However, 54% disapprove of Trump’s economic handling, and his controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative remains divisive. With Democrats facing historically low favorability, Trump continues to dominate GOP support at 90%. #TrumpApproval #ApprovalRating #DonaldTrump #TrumpAdministration #TrumpApprovalRatings #PresidentTrump #TrumpEconomy #PresidentialApproval #TrumpJobApproval #TrumpDisapproval #TrumpPolls #TrumpSupport #TrumpPolicies #TrumpLeadership #TrumpRatings Also Read PM Modi Joins Trump's Truth Social, Highlights Strong Bond With US President: 'Thank You My Friend'' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pm-modi-joins-trumps-truth-social-highlights-strong-bond-with-us-president-looking-forward-to-4097295.html?ref=DMDesc An Uncertain Peace: How Trump And Putin Plan To End The Ukraine War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/an-uncertain-peace-how-trump-and-putin-plan-to-end-the-ukraine-war-4096855.html?ref=DMDesc Sunita Williams And Butch Wilmore Thanks Elon Musk And Donald Trump In A Heartfelt Video | Watch :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/sunita-williams-and-butch-wilmore-thanks-elon-musk-and-donald-trump-in-a-heartfelt-video-watch-4096831.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.336~GR.121~

In a fiery tirade on his Truth Social platform, President Donald Trump lashed out at major media outlets and pollsters after receiving the lowest 100-day approval rating for any U.S. president in seven decades.
