I don't understand the title. Does the OP not understand the difference between Europe and the EU?

EU (without the the) is sometimes used as shorthand for Europe, especially when space is limited. It is technically incorrect, but so is referring to the US as America or to North America as the US.

Only by US media and politicians. Nobody in Europe, nor elsewhere, refers to Europe as EU for short.
