Trump shakes transatlantic alliance with sudden Russia pivot
French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will separately meet with US President Donald Trump at the White House this week in an effort to persuade him to maintain support for Ukraine. This comes amid growing concerns in Europe about Trump's shifting stance on Kyiv and its potential impact on the transatlantic alliance.
European leaders are worried that the long-standing bond between the US and Europe, forged after World War II, is at risk as Trump engages in talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Many perceive Trump as prioritizing a nationalist agenda and great power politics over the traditional US commitment to a rules-based international order, causing alarm in Europe, which has relied on US security assurances for decades.
