Donald Trump must be taught “what Europe is and how it works”, EU president Jean-Claude Juncker has claimed.
Mr Juncker told students in Luxembourg that the new President-elect's shock win in the US election has put America’s relationship with Europe at risk.
He said during a conference: “The election of Trump poses the risk of upsetting intercontinental relations in their foundation and in their structure.
“We will need to teach the president-elect what Europe is and how it works.”
Mr Juncker added that he believed it would take Mr Trump two years before he visited Europe.
“I think we will waste two years before Mr Trump tours the world he does not know," he said.
The EU president spoke on Thursday of his concerns over the billionaire businessman’s views on global trade, climate policy and Western security.
