Since the Republican\u2019s electoral win in November, European Union leaders have sought to project confidence, insisting the bloc had learned how to deal with Trump and was prepared for his comeback.<br \/>\nCampaign trail promises to \u201ctake other countries\u2019 jobs\u201d, slap tariffs on US allies and halt aid to Ukraine barely elicited a reaction as Brussels insisted it was ready, come what may.<br \/>\nBut as Trump\u2019s menaces and outbursts, including a threat to annex Greenland, piled on after the vote, some lawmakers have grown impatient with the EU\u2019s wait-and-see attitude.<br \/>\n\u201cWe share a lot of things with the Americans, but at the same time we must not be naive,\u201d warned Marie-Pierre Vedrenne, from the centrist Renew group. \u201cWe must not let our actions be dictated to us by Donald Trump or Elon Musk.\u201d<br \/>\nLawmakers will debate whether the EU can find a unified voice to confront a cantankerous Washington.
