The US is a country. Europe isn’t.

The US is 50 countries in a trenchcoat really, some of which would go to war with eachother outside the coat.

Then Europe is a bunch of countries wearing a bikini and lots of accessories. There's no one part that covers all of it, some accessories strongly clash with each other and you have random bracelets everywhere.

The EU doesn't include a bunch of countries on the continent of Europe

A pedantic point. Europe has become a synonym for EU in journalism.

It's an EU strategy.

I didn't mean "GET THE TIN FOIL! IT'S AN EU CONSPIRICY". I meant "The article is discussing an EU development programme".

A lot of European countries aren't in the EU. Turkey, the UK, Norway and a bunch more.
