Europe has become woke, but this does not apply to all countries: Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia have gone the other way, US President Donald Trump said on Friday.

– I want Europe to become stronger. Europe has become woke. Europe is unrecognizable, Trump declared at a press conference, answering questions about relations with Europe in the face of the Supreme Court's invalidation of most of the tariffs he introduced.

The so-called woke culture is a culture of strengthening social awareness and sensitivity, including: on racial issues and the rights of sexual minorities (from English: woke – woke).

Trump noted that this does not apply to all countries. – Look at Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia… There are countries that have gone completely the other way – he added.

– But Europe must be strong, and they are becoming soft and unrecognizable. You are going to some countries. I don't want to be specific, but I think everyone knows what I'm talking about. And they are unrecognizable. They are becoming taken over by environmentalists. Windmills destroy their fields, beautiful meadows and oceans. They pay a fortune, he said.

– Europe needs to smarten up. Two things will kill it: energy and immigration, said the president of the United States.
