The United States has some people in Europe with whom we disagree on this matter and a large number of people in Europe, including governments in Europe, with whom we agree.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There have been major disagreements within the European Union.
Europe is a community of half a billion people, more than Russia and the United States combined.
People feel that in too many ways the EU is something that is done to them, not something over which they have a say.
Europeans have it better than the Americans. The Americans work too hard. The balance is out of whack. Europe's hung onto a little bit more of living a life and then working as well.
The United States, obviously, has a great interest in helping to maintain peace and security in Europe, and we have a formal alliance, NATO, to do so.
Any people has a right to self-determination, and now in Europe the process of diluting national sovereignty in the framework of a united Europe is more accepted.
Europe has a lot of strength. We need to pool that strength, and I am very much in favour of that - more of a deeper political union.
Europe and America must act together in the face of evil. It's high time for Americans and Europeans to restore that unity and be able to take actions collectively together.
In the EU you have half a billion people who share a common belief in democracy, in rights, in the kind of economic life we want.
The majority of decisions in Europe are done by unanimity. That's why it is important to be to have good relations with all parts.
