Ties among the EU, US, Russia in focus

MUNICH - The Munich Security Conference was and is a good platform for discussion of the relationship among the European Union, the United States and Russia.

Gu Xuewu, director of the Center for Global Studies at Bonn University said that Europe is becoming more disappointed with the US on the issue of defense. "The sense of security and trust in the US is disappearing," he said.

Meanwhile, the US only urged the EU to take more responsibility, which has led to a rift between the two sides, Gu said.
