As Europe beats back the virus and forges consensus on economic recovery, the US and its administration offer a stark contrast, with a fumbling pandemic response and now division in Washington over a stimulus bill, David A. Andelman writes for CNNOpinion

David A. Andelman, executive director of The RedLines Project, is a contributor to CNN where his columns won the Deadline Club Award for Best Opinion Writing. Author of"A Shattered Peace: Versailles 1919 and the Price We Pay Today," and the forthcoming"A Red Line in the Sand: Diplomacy, Strategy and a History of Wars That May Still Happen," he was formerly a foreign correspondent for The New York Times and CBS News in Europe and Asia. Follow him on Twitter @DavidAndelman.

It was the first time Europe's leaders had seen each other face-to-face since the pandemic swept across the continent, shredding the European Union and causing untold pain and economic suffering, followed in most quarters by a recovery unlike anything experienced in the United States. With 27 different agendas, it was a model of how to deal with a critical issue of money.

Late on Monday, there was unanimity on the largest financial project ever attempted on the continent -- a total recovery package of $858 billion. Many of the rifts, between rich and poor nations, those with true democracies and others verging on autocracies, were papered over. David A. AndelmanBut in the end, in a model that should be examined closely as Washington strives desperately to work toward similar compromises, this one worked.

Opinion China News Network - How sickening your news coverage is to America. I understand your enemy is Trump, but helping nations that want the US to be a crater isn't 'American'. Maybe this is why your ratings have tanked? Just sayin'.

Trump Attempts Sober Pose in Resurrected COVID-19 BriefingThe president read a prepared statement word-for-word, recommended masks without downplaying them, and acknowledged the pandemic would get worse. Let’s see how long he can keep it together. 🤦‍♀️ 'Trump deserves credit for not veering wildly off the topic of the coronavirus and successfully reading his prepared remarks' Didnt he also say it would just “disappear”?

Watch Donald Trump implode on Fox News over COVID falsehoodsIn a special fact-check brought to you by MSNBC’s Ari Melber, Trump’s repeated lies about the spread of the coronavirus in the United States are put on blast. Not only have the President’s public claims about the virus not been vindicated, but they have been proven false by many – most recently by Fox New’s Chris Wallace in an interview with Trump himself. AriMelber How could anyone vote for a man who wants to teach Islam in our schools. A man who wants to increase taxes by 33%. A man who wants to shut down oil drilling and coal mining. Just how in the Hell is that going to help our economy? Can anyone explain? AriMelber But he'll be right eventually, fuck, this dude is leading our country.
