The European delegation criticized the demotion of the EU Ambassador to the United States, David O'Sullivan, saying neither the ambassador nor the EU's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, had been "formally notified of this change" in advance.
The delegation's letter specifically takes aim at President Trump, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and US Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland.
"They lambast the EU as bureaucratic, make no secret of their preference to deal with individual member state governments bilaterally, and have praised populist and nationalist movements," wrote the delegation in its open letter.
