It is hard to say that the EU is successful on the world arena in 2016. Although the EU still acted in concert with the US in their actions towards the other international actors，the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership（TTIP）negotiation came to a deadlock since Donald Trump was elected US President. The EU prolonged anti-Russian sanctions and no positive sign had been shown in the EU-Russia relationships. The Middle East and North Africa spans the origin countries of most of the European refugees，however，no fundamental change took pace in the foreign policies of the EU and the European countries towards this region. The European Commission published a new foreign and security strategy in 2016 entitled “Shared Vision，Common Action：A Stronger Europe”，which emphasizes that “Principled pragmatism” should be the guiding principle of the EU’s external actions in the years ahead.
