interview with Ukrinform <\/a>by Jana Puglierin, a prominent German security expert from the European Council on Foreign Relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cI think there is a very strong and growing understanding in Europe that cooperation with this Trump administration is impossible. And that is what distinguishes it from Trump\u2019s first administration,\u201d the expert stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She noted that previously, especially in Central and Eastern Europe, countries viewed the presence of American troops on their territory as a reliable security guarantee and considered Trump to be \u201cbasically more reliable than a European security guarantee.\u201d However, this perception has changed in recent months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Puglierin does not believe that Trump himself has \u201cradicalized\u201d between his first and second terms. Instead, she argues, the Republican Party itself has changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDuring his first term, Trump was unprepared and was held back by what were called the \u2018adults in the room\u2019. When he first came to power, the Republican Party was still full of traditional Republicans with traditional views on foreign policy\u2026 This means that America has changed, and Trump\u2019s team has done its homework: they now have plans, they have personnel. So Trump is no longer restrained as he was during his first term\u2014he now has free rein, and that gives him the ability to implement his agenda,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Puglierin also pointed out that Washington has a great deal of potential leverage over Europe. For example, she recalled the suspension of military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine to pressure Kyiv into making concessions. If the U.S. wants to push through some agreement in Europe, they could, for example, threaten to revise planned statements for the upcoming NATO summit, she believes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Ukrinform previously reported, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, just days after Donald Trump\u2019s inauguration, gave a speech at the Munich Security Conference that left European leaders feeling that the U.S. was no longer an unquestionably committed partner. Statements about Greenland, plans to reduce the U.S. military presence in Europe, and Washington\u2019s st<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
