Europe underestimates its power.

European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaia Kallas believes that Europe underestimates its power, particularly with regard to Russia. The diplomat expressed this opinion at a forum in Doha, the Politico newspaper reported.

Callas downplayed the significance of the US President Donald Trump administration's new harsh assessment of Europe, even hinting that some of her criticisms were true.

"Europe is underestimating its own strength with regard to Russia, for example. We should be more confident, that's for sure," the official emphasized.

The Trump administration criticized European governments in its new national security strategy, which the White House released the day before.
