The Trump administration’s approach to ending the war in Ukraine is fracturing US-Europe relations. European leaders fear being sidelined from peace talks and facing increased security burdens. Critics argue this shift emboldens the Kremlin and erodes trust in US alliances. The Washington Post concludes that Europe must now prepare for a future where US commitments are no longer guaranteed, forcing the continent to chart its own security course. It adds that European leaders worry that Trump’s evolving stance weakens NATO and grants legitimacy to Russia’s territorial ambitions.
