EU ministers seek 'strong partnership' with Trump: Mogherini

European Union foreign ministers insisted on Sunday they expected good relations with Donald Trump, after a crisis meeting that Britain, France and Hungary snubbed in a move that exposed rifts over the US president-elect.


The ministers said they wanted more details about Republican Trump's plans following his shock election win, which has sparked anxiety in Europe due to his campaign-trail rhetoric questioning US commitment to the continent.

EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini called the special dinner on the eve of a scheduled meeting of the ministers, but some capitals criticized the decision to have an emergency meeting on a democratic election result in a key ally.

"We are looking forward to a very strong partnership with the next administration, we've decided together to engage with the incoming administration even from this very first week of transition," Mogherini told reporters afterwards.
