‘A grave error of judgement’: EU Parliament groups blast Commission for attending Trump’s Board of Peace

(Max Griera – Politico) The European Commission’s decision to send a commissioner to a meeting of Donald Trump’s Board of Peace was “a grave error of judgement,” the European Parliament’s social democratic, liberal and green groups said in a letter sent Friday to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, seen by POLITICO. Dubravka Šuica, the European commissioner for the Mediterranean, was in Washington on Thursday for the first formal meeting of Trump’s Board of Peace, which is designed to oversee Gaza’s demilitarization and reconstruction under a U.N.-endorsed ceasefire framework. The EU has stated it does not endorse the initiative and it will not participate as a member, but the decision for Šuica to attend caused outcry. – ‘A grave error of judgement’: EU Parliament groups blast Commission for attending Trump’s Board of Peace – POLITICO
