Reuters EU Ponders Handling U.S. Hyperpower
KASTELLORIZO, Greece (Reuters) - On the love boat that hosted Prince Charles and Princess Diana's honeymoon, European Union foreign ministers this weekend contemplated how to salvage their troubled marriage with the United States.
Cruising off an idyllic Greek island, ministers from the 25 present and future EU states tried to draw lessons from their rift over the U.S.-led war in Iraq and Washington's drive to reshape the world along its own lines with or without United Nations authority.
"We all agree that, yes, there is a crisis or at least a problem in our transatlantic relationship," Greek Foreign Minister George Papandreou told reporters after chairing the discussion aboard the private luxury yacht Alexander.
