BRUSSELS, March ‌17 (Reuters) - The ​European ​Union has started taking the unpredictability of ‌the United States into account one ⁠year after President Donald Trump ‌returned to the White ‌House, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on ​Tuesday.

"Of course, we are allies with America, but we ⁠don't really understand their moves recently," Kallas ​told Reuters in an interview.

"I think it is pretty clear ​after this one ‌year that the word that we have to ⁠take into account is unpredictability. So we are now more ⁠calm because we are expecting the ​unpredictable things to happen all the time, and take it as it ‌is, put some ice in our hats and be ‌calm and stay focused," ⁠she added.
