European Council President Charles Michel said Sunday that Donald Trump’s term in office had damaged the transatlantic relationship but the election of Joe Biden would mean a return to “respectful” dialogue.

“What is certain is that the last few years have damaged the relationship with the U.S. … Unfortunately, it is no joke, the previous president spoke more with North Korea than with the Europeans,” Michel said during an interview on Europe 1 radio.

“With Joe Biden, we have the prospect of a more normal, more respectful dialogue … and on several projects like the climate, to have a strong objective alliance, which is rather positive and exciting,” he added.

Biden has already announced a raft of executive actions to sweep away many of Trump’s policies and reinforce U.S. climate efforts, from rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement to revoking a key permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline.
