European Council President Charles Michel said Sunday that Donald Trumps 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 Trumps policies and reinforce U.S. climate efforts, from rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement to revoking a key permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline.
