Europeans angry at Donald Trump for climate, Ukraine-Russia, French comments, etc.–what will be the result of ‘unintended consequences’ of his presidency?

COGwriter

European leaders continue to be angry at Donald Trump for many things.

They were upset when he pulled the USA out of a UN climate agreement earlier this year (see European Union leaders outraged after Trump Administration pulls out of global climate agreements).

Now, they are blaming him for increased global temperatures:

Rising emissions and temperatures: The cost of Trump’s climate retreat

21 October 2026

The world is set to breach the critical 1.5-degree temperature limit, with Donald Trump’s US withdrawal from climate action worsening the outlook, according to a UN report. …

For over a decade, scientists have warned the world must limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) to avoid the most severe consequences of climate change.

That goal is no longer within reach.

Decades of “insufficient” action on cutting the fossil fuel emissions heating the planet means overshooting 1.5-degree temperature threshold is now “imminent and unavoidable,” according to the United Nations Environment Program’s (UNEP) annual Emissions Gap Report.

If current climate policies continue, temperatures will rise by an average of 2.8 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels within this century. But even if countries meet their new climate pledges, global warming is still projected to reach 2.6 degrees Celsius. Both scenarios would tip the world into a period of catastrophic weather extremes. … the United States saw emissions rise in 2025, according to preliminary estimates. The increase in the US “far exceeded that of all other countries,” driven by a resurgence of coal — the dirtiest fossil fuel source — and rising electricity demand, partly linked to massive AI data center expansion. …

The outlook has worsened in part because of US President Donald Trump’s withdrawal of the United States from the historic Paris climate accord in which the world came together in 2015 to agree to halt climate change. The US is the second-largest annual emitter of climate-warping greenhouse gases.

Since Trump entered the Oval Office for a second time, his administration has taken a sledgehammer to climate policy, gutting environmental regulations and expanding oil and gas production. https://www.dw.com/en/rising-emissions-and-temperatures-the-cost-of-trumps-climate-retreat-is-now-clear/a-79714915

Climate Change

Donald Trump’s views against the ‘climate change’ agenda have not pleased the Europeans.

As 45th President, Donald Trump pulled his nation out of the Paris Climate Accord agreement that the Obama-Biden Administration agreed to. The Biden-Harris Administration had the country rejoin that deal. Donald Trump intends to pull the USA out of the agreement again.

The Paris conference was technically called the 21st Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, often abbreviated COP21. This is something that the Vatican also endorsed. There has been a COP meeting most of the years since (COVID affected it), but partially because of Donald Trump’s re-election, COP29 (held for two weeks in November 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan) was considered ineffective in making significant improvements.

Europeans consider that they are the ones that are “moral” on this matter and that the re-election of Donald Trump is making international climate improvement much more difficult. [i]

Perhaps it should also be mentioned that Olav Fykse Tveit, when he was General Secretary of the World Council of Churches said it was a “sin against the Holy Spirit, if we all ignore climate change.” [ii] Essentially, he is stating it is the ‘unpardonable sin’ (cf. Luke 12:10) to not accept the climate change agenda. Donald Trump railed against the climate change agenda in his latest campaign and believes much of it is against America’s interests.[iii]

Irrespective of how one views the climate change matter, holding views that differ from Olav Fykse Tveit is not a “sin against the Holy Spirit.” However, the reality is that countries, like the USA, should not agree to something on an international basis (like COP21) and then not follow through (cf. Psalm 15:1-4).

Donald Trump’s view of climate change has caused issues with Europe. Europe tends to see the USA as an irresponsible polluter of the planet, while Europe increasingly believes itself to be the environmental protector that the world needs. …

Energy and climate policy differences between the Europeans and Donald Trump look to increase the negative view many in Europe already have about the USA.

Europeans consider that they are the ones that are “moral” on this matter and that the USA is basically polluting and betraying the world.

Because of US President Donald Trump’s position on ‘climate change’ as well as certain executive orders from him, the USA has been declared a rogue nation by various ones in Europe, Africa, Asia, and other parts of the world. How does Webster’s Dictionary define ‘rogue’? Is it possible that considering that the USA is a rogue nation will be part of the justification for it getting taken over in the future? What does the Vatican want done? Does the Bible teach that friends, who do not mean to takeover the USA will one day destroy it? Might ‘climate change’ be part of a false gospel?

Here is a link to our video: The USA Declared a ‘Rogue Nation’!

The relationship with Europe will get worse than people expect.

The Europeans are not pleased with Donald Trump’s positions related to Russia and Ukraine:

Trump’s embrace of Putin roils Europe, but not enough to break with the US

21 October 2026

Donald Trump’s embrace of Vladimir Putin has driven a wedge between the transatlantic allies. But for all their outrage, Europeans are not yet ready to break away from the United States and go their own way.

The rift between Europe and the United States over Russia’s war on Ukraine has plunged to a new depth as Donald Trump doubles down on his embrace of Vladimir Putin, jolting an alliance that was already treading on thin ice. …

Once again, they find themselves blindsided and undercut by a close ally that is willing to make overtures to Russia without demanding a single concession in return.

“We want to leave no doubt about our position towards Ukraine, and at the same time, we know that the Americans have other interests,” German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said last week at the end of a two-day summit in Brussels.

In a swipe at Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron denounced the “ambiguities” of some leaders and warned: “Capitulation is weakness. Weakness is danger.”

Italy’s Giorgia Meloni deplored the diesel deal as a “very risky choice” that legitimises Moscow and weakens sanctions. Denmark’s Mette Frederiksen lamented that “we, the Western alliance, are in a worse position now than we were a few days ago”.

On Tuesday, High Representative Kaja Kallas upped the anteand explicitly accused the US of pushing Ukraine to “surrender on Putin’s terms”.

Conscious coupling

Yet despite the criticism and widespread indignation, Europe remains unwilling and perhaps unprepared to break away from Trump and pursue an independent course. https://www.euronews.com/2026/10/21/trumps-embrace-of-putin-roils-europe-but-not-enough-to-break-with-the-us

Europe currently considers itself stuck with the USA for defense. But partially because of actions and statements by Donald Trump, it is taking steps for military independence (see European Union wants more independence from the Unites States, particularly in military and financial matters and It’s not just the leadership–most Europeans want to be independent ‘go its own way’ from the United States and An unintended consequence of the Trump presidency is pushing Europe to rise up as a ‘counterweight’).

France’s president just took a lightly veiled shot against Donald Trump:

In apparent swipe at Trump, Macron slams ‘stupid comments’ by foreign leaders on France protests

21 October 2026

France’s President Emmanuel Macron has criticised world leaders who he said were campaigning for upcoming elections “at France’s expense” with “unacceptable and even stupid comments” about the country’s riots last weekend.

In an apparent swipe at US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he stated “there are people who campaign at France’s expense — leaders who are in campaign mode, whether here in the region or on the other side of the Atlantic,” he commented.

Although many protesters marched peacefully during mass demonstrations across France over the weekend, widespread looting and clashes with police overshadowed protests organised by trade unions, the Yellow Vest movement and students.

Speaking from Doha during a visit to Qatar, Macron denied allegations that foreign interference contributed to these events. He called out “subsequent foreign manipulation of information, which led to equally unacceptable and stupid comments from many people, including foreign leaders.” …

Trump claimed that France was “under siege, looted and set ablaze by migrants, jihadists and communists” on Monday. He has framed the unrest to suggest that the same fate awaits America if the Democrats win.

Macron told reporters that France already faced domestic issues and that the situation did not need to be inflamed further, stating “in these moments, we see who loves France and who doesn’t.” https://www.euronews.com/2026/10/21/in-apparent-swipe-at-trump-macron-slams-stupid-comments-by-foreign-leaders-on-france-prote

‘Climate change’ is likely to be one reason that the Europeans will feel justified about what they will ultimately do.

Political differences, military priorities, trade, tariffs, etc. will be other reasons.

Notice more that I warned about in my free eBook Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies?::

Donald Trump has made political, economic, and military statements which will ultimately help the rise of the upcoming Beast power in Europe. Donald Trump seems to think the relationship between Europe and the USA is better than it really is.

This European Beast power will, after it has a prophesied reorganization and rises up, destroy the United States (Daniel 11:39). And the leader of this power is supposed to rise up “When the transgressors have reached their fullness,” (Daniel 8:23). …

Unintended Consequences

While Donald Trump seems to believe that his policies are best for the United States, notice some unintended consequences of them:

  • While promoting peace is good, once the Middle East deal is confirmed by a European leader (called a prince in Daniel 9:26), the 3 ½ year countdown to the start of the Great Tribulation and the conquering of the USA and its British-descended allies will begin.
  • Pushing tariffs and sanctions on other countries is contributing to the rise of the final time of the Gentiles (Luke 21:24; Ezekiel 7:24).
  • Pushing tariffs and other policies that foreign nations do not like is contributing to other nations looking to bypass the USA dollar, as well as trade more with each other and less with the USA. This will further push various globalist’s moves forward without the USA. This is also helping set the stage for the coming European Babylonian Beast to dominate international trade.
  • Although national repentance could delay the coming conquering (cf. Daniel 4:27) of the USA (Daniel 11:39), Donald Trump instead is focused more on economic matters. Since that repentance is not expected, a European will end up in charge (cf. Hosea 11:1a, 3a, 4b, 5b-7). …
  • Pushing debt increasing policies will put the USA into a position where it will be conquered, consistent with Habakkuk 2:6-8. This will lead to the land of the USA being divided (cf. Daniel 11:39; Lamentations 4:16; Amos 7:17).
  • Pushing against Europe’s unity is encouraging the Europeans, which are prophesied to have unity difficulties (cf. Daniel 2:41-43), to try harder to unify, which will happen after at least two reorganizations (Revelation 17:12-13).
  • By breaking political norms and acting like a ‘strong man’ this will help Europeans being more accepting of their beast ‘strong man’ (Revelation 13:1-10; 17:13).
  • Donald Trump’s statements will help promote the rise of stronger European leaders like Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg.
  • Although, overall, the European nations have not paid for their defense to the amount they have suggested they would, pressuring them to spend more will 1) encourage them to be independent of the USA and 2) put Europe in a position where it has a great army (Daniel 11:25), many ships (Daniel 11:40), and access to nuclear weapons (cf. Deuteronomy 29:23-25; Isaiah 9:19-21;Ezekiel 6:6), which will help it conquer the USA, which is the military power with the strongest fortresses (cf. Daniel 11:39).

Christians are to “walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). By faith we trust the prophecies in the word of God over plans of humans (cf. Psalm 118:9).

That is one way for Christians to avoid negative “unintended consequences.”

The Bible shows that Europeans will turn against a ‘friend’ that was “great among the nations”:

1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!
How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!
The princess among the provinces
Has become a slave!

2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies. (Lamentations 1:1-2)

The Europeans will take over the “great” USA per Daniel 11:39 (see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses). If more and more consider the USA to be a rogue nation, it will be easier to persuade more to support the takeover. Climate positions of the USA may be something that will be used to justify the takeover.

This will not end well for the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39; Isaiah 10:5-11).
