Present chilly relations between Washington and Moscow are resulting in appeals for a new European superpower to arise. "The interests and objectives of the United States and the West European countries are increasingly diverging," warns Pieter Denkert, president of the European Parliament. The "sheer number of disputes between the United States and Western Europe has gradually eroded ... mutual respect and confidence," writes President Denkert in the Winter 1983-84 edition of Foreign Policy magazine. Conflicts over trade policy constitute a major and growing irritant between the United States and its European allies. Add to trade problems an equally serious dispute-the approach that the West should take toward the ever-increasing power of the Soviet Union. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
