For all Mr Trump’s coarseness, his authoritarianism and his fondness for dictators, no one could have predicted the viciousness of his attempt to humiliate Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday. No one could have predicted his grotesque inversion of reality, accusing Mr Zelensky of “gambling with World War III” by being so reckless as to lead his people in fighting back against an unprovoked invasion. Europe must therefore step up and make sure that Mr Trump does not succeed in pushing the Ukrainian people to surrender. Indeed, the prime minister did the right thing, while the other capitals of Europe were echoing with outrage: he spoke on the phone to both Mr Trump and Mr Zelensky, in separate conversations, and put out a statement reiterating “his unwavering support for Ukraine”.
