Examples of EUROPEAN in a Sentence

1. Jeanne Shaheen:

   Germany is a critical U.S. ally and I welcome steps by the administration to try to negotiate a diplomatic path forward and consult with our European allies to mitigate the impact of Nord Stream 2 2 pipeline project, however, I am not yet convinced that this agreement -- or any bilateral agreement -- can sufficiently provide assurances to our European allies and minimize the considerable economic impact and security implications of this pipeline's completion. I've long contended that the Nord Stream 2 pipeline should not be completed because it empowers the Kremlin to spread its malign influence throughout Eastern Europe, threatens the economic security of our European partners and puts our global stability at risk. I continue to believe that.

2. Grant Shapps:

   The next big thing to happen will be around the next European summit and that's not until the middle of October anyway and that is the time at which there may be something new to discuss.

3. Kisha James:

   We want to educate people so that they understand the stories we all learned in school about the first Thanksgiving are nothing but lies. Wampanoag and other Indigenous people have certainly not lived happily ever after since the arrival of the Pilgrims, to us, Thanksgiving is a day of mourning, because we remember the millions of our ancestors who were murdered by uninvited European colonists such as the Pilgrims. Today, we and many Indigenous people around the country say, ‘No Thanks, No Giving.’.

4. Marc Short:

   The President consistently raised concerns about corruption and the lack of burden sharing by European partners, so having run on an anti-corruption campaign, Zelensky was receptive to those messages, the President reported back to The President after the meeting and the aid was released.

5. Jack Semple:

   I think were Schengen to be scrapped, we're into a completely new era, there would have to be a rethinking of the European supply chain, stocking levels and that would obviously impact on cash flow.
