You're right, it has a European slant. That's anti-Trump.
Uh, no...sorry, it's got a "European slant" because none of the US administration people would talk to the US press...get it?
The US reporters would have been HAPPY to ask Trump & Co. questions but in a break from tradition, nobody from Trump & Co. talked to the press. Tillerson DID have a press conference, but it was ONLY for Saudi journalists...no Americans were allowed in.
So, the fact that the article had a European viewpoint is that is who would talk to the US reporters...get it? The reason that the US people weren't quoted is because they hid from the press. I guess that makes some sort of deluded sense if you are convinced the media is the enemy...but you shouldn't be surprised at the result.
Yet, again, Trump got played at a game he doesn't even know how to play.
BTW, Noah Barkin who is a Special Correspondent Europe for Reuters, has been working for them for 23 years...and before you ask, he's originally from California and holds degrees from U.C. Berkeley and Columbia University so, he's an American.
