During the ongoing NATO summit in Washington, several high-ranking European officials have had meetings with a top foreign policy adviser to Donald Trump. These meetings took place as America’s allies prepare for the possible reelection of the former president
The discussions between the European officials and the Trump adviser are of particular interest due to concerns in European capitals about how Trump would handle the war in Ukraine and America’s relationship with NATO. Trump and his allies have expressed skepticism about providing more aid to Ukraine, and the former president has repeatedly criticized NATOÂ
It is worth noting that in June, Reuters reported that the Trump adviser, along with another Trump adviser, presented a plan to end the Ukraine war by conditioning future aid to Kyiv on Ukraine’s leaders agreeing to sit down for peace talks with MoscowÂ
While some meetings between European delegations and former Trump foreign policy officials were approached during the NATO summit, logistical reasons prevented those meetings from taking placeÂ
These interactions between the Trump foreign policy adviser and European officials highlight the ongoing discussions and concerns surrounding foreign policy and international relations at the NATO summit.
