The translation barely captures how smug, self-satisfied, and contemptuous this guy is. He frames the mere act of speaking with President Trump as some great sacrifice on his part, as if it’s a burden he reluctantly agrees to carry because someone has to. Worse still, his reasoning reduces everything to pure utility. It’s not about shared history, common culture, or any sense of Western civilization. His entire premise is that engagement is necessary only because Europe cannot defend itself, and once that changes, the relationship becomes expendable. The level of condescension is completely off the charts.

The truth is—I try to maintain a reasonable personal relationship with the American president.
Right now, we cannot defend ourselves on our own.
At the moment, only a few of us can still speak with him in a trusting way.
