NATO flatters Trump to keep him on Kyiv's side - Bloomberg.
Frightened by the changing approach to defense from the United States, NATO is trying to keep President Trump on its side by maintaining and preserving support for Ukraine. The alliance's Secretary General is actively engaged in diplomatic efforts to influence the American leader to support the defense and security interests of Europe and Ukraine.
European leaders are expected to form a new coalition to support Ukraine's defense in the war against Russia. Rutte emphasized that to gain Trump's respect, spending needs to be increased.
It is feared that Europe is striving to avoid destabilizing transatlantic relations and keeping American support for Ukraine intact even amid a possible revision of defense strategies in the region.
