Why is the EU always blamed for everything? This is how you got brexit. Trade policy and negotiations included all of the inputs of the EU members' leaders. The problem is that they are split. Some are trump fans (Italy, Hungary), some can't imagine life without murica (Germany, Poland, Baltics, probably), some want more autonomy (France, Spain). This is merely a fragile compromise.
EU is a union (it's right in the name). It's as strong or as weak as all of it's members are combined. The people running it are selected by and follow orders of those members. Yes, some of the countries in EU are reasonable but EU as a whole is weak and/or naive.
Same for the United States of America.
Heck China and Russia are both as well.
There seems to be a theoretical maximum to the number of people or area per nation state
