Trump-Zelensky row signals major crisis looming for Nato

The relationship between Donald Trump and Volodimir Zelinski was bad enough before the screaming match in the Oval Office.

President Trump had already described him as a dictator and said that Ukraine began the war – a lie.

Now the United States Alliance, Ukraine, sponsored by Joe Biden in cutting.

The general collapse also indicates a major crisis that waves on the horizon between European members in NATO and the United States.

There will be many doubts and questions about the American commitment to European security outside Ukraine. The largest is whether President Trump will maintain the promise of his predecessor Harry Truman in 1949 to treat an attack on NATO ally as an attack on America.

These concerns are based on what appears to be Trump’s determination to restore a strong relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

He has made very pressure on Ukraine while making great concessions Putin – the Ukrainians should make.

Ukraine’s security comes in the second place – and the Europeans are worried about their interest.

President Zelinski refused to make these concessions angered Trump.

It is not just the metal deal that refused to sign. Ukrainians believe that they are in a war for the national survival – and that Putin will break any promise to end the war if it is not deterred.

For this reason, Zelinski has repeatedly requested US security guarantees.

The meeting was caught in the screaming match after the intervention by Vice President JD Vance.

There are now doubts that the general row was – as a diplomatic observer – a planned political crushing: either to force Zelinski to provide America’s bids, or to depose a crisis that would allow them to blame everything that happens after that.

If Trump follows the collapse of talks by freezing military aid, Ukraine will fight. Questions are effective, and for how long.

The pressure on its European allies will double to take over the recession.
