Nearly 50 European leaders will gather in Armenia Monday to discuss pressing issues for the continent, such as democratic resilience and energy security. But the meeting will likely be overshadowed by recent comments by Donald Trump that threaten to send transatlantic relations to a new low.

Over the weekend, the American president said he would cut thousands of U.S. troops stationed in Germany after accusing European countries of ignoring his requests for help in the war with Iran and to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump also vowed to raise tariffs on cars and trucks from the European Union to 25%, claiming that the bloc had failed to fully comply with a trade agreement negotiated with the U.S.
