EU discusses Ukraine aid, transatlantic ties with US

Firstpost  

Donald Trump’s return to the White House catches Europe in a moment of political and economic fragility. Foreign ministers from Poland, Germany, France and Italy discussed enhancing Europe’s military support for Ukraine and reassessing ties with the US under Donald Trump’s presidency. The meeting, attended by Germany’s Annalena Baerbock, France’s Jean-Noel Barrot, Italy’s Antonio Tajani and Poland’s Radek Sikorski, aims to address Russia’s intensified missile strikes on Ukraine and the implications of Trump’s presidency on trans-Atlantic relations. Trump’s relationships with European leaders have been tumultuous, marked by his refusal to defend allies unless they meet NATO defense spending targets and skepticism about US support for Ukraine. Trump expects Europe to take greater responsibility for its defense amidst Russia’s ongoing war on Ukraine.
