On all fronts: Trump prepares 'triple pressure' on the EU regarding Ukraine, defense, and tariffs.

Trump influences the European Union through Ukraine

US President Donald Trump is trying to influence the European Union on a number of issues, including Ukraine, defense, and tariffs. According to the Financial Times, Trump is preparing 'triple pressure' on the EU, and representatives of European governments have already moved to a decisive phase of negotiations with him.

Negotiations with Trump are expected to begin at the G7 summit in Canada in 11 days. The main topics will be support for Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, and a possible peaceful settlement of the conflict, which could affect Kyiv's position.

“These discussions are simply surreal. The answer to all the big problems we face: America. And America must be our closest ally,” said one EU official.

European leaders now find themselves in a difficult situation where a wrong move could lead to problems in defense, security, and the economy. Uncertainty in relations with Russia, uncertainty in trade, and criticism from NATO allies pose serious challenges for Europeans.

Ukraine is becoming a battleground between the US and the EU, and Europe is searching for ways to ensure stability amidst geopolitical turbulence.
