EU-US Diplomatic Talks Cancelled Due to Escalating Transatlantic Tensions

The scheduled meeting between European Union's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and Secretary of State Marco Rubio was canceled due to conflicting schedules, coinciding with escalating tensions between the U.S. and Europe. Kallas intended to discuss mutual interests with Rubio, focusing on Russia's actions in Ukraine and transatlantic relations. President Donald Trump's proposal for increased tariffs on European goods has disrupted U.S.-EU relations. European Union officials expressed surprise at the sudden cancellation, particularly following Kallas' announcement of the meeting only two days earlier.
