World News Review U.S. Versus EU The United States and the European Union are increasingly in conflict with each other's policies. One recent area of controversy is the proposal of an International Criminal Court. The United States strenuously objects to the court having authority over its citizens, citing fears that American soldiers would be inappropriately subject to trial by such a court. President Bush warns the Europeans that pressing the United States on this issue could seriously damage the NATO partnership. This is but one of many major policy differences between the United States and the European Union that are stressing their relationship. The others include:  Trade. The United States is restricting imports of EU steel. At the same time, the European Union is pressing the United States to pay $4 billion in punitive damages, alleging unfair subsidization of American businesses.  Missile defense. The European Union objects to the U.S. proposal for a missile defense shield.  Global warming. EU leaders are joining the chorus of environmentalists criticizing the U.S. failure to ratify the Kyoto treaty.  The Balkans. To the chagrin of the Europeans, the current U.S. administration is signaling an intention to pull back its military from Bosnia and Kosovo.  UN ban on military sales to Iraq.
