Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said on May 3 that relations between the United States and the European Union had reached a "point of no return," according to reports.

Serbia is an EU candidate country that also keeps close ties with Russia and China, and Vučić often comments on shifts in the balance between major powers.

The remark is his political assessment rather than a description of any formal change in US-EU relations, which continue through trade, NATO and other channels.

For a measured view of transatlantic ties, look at concrete indicators such as trade agreements, tariff decisions and joint statements from Washington and Brussels.
