NATO. Media with lost confidence in Donald Trump

This is why the issue of Ukraine is essential for Europeans, while for Americans it is only additional. To what extent does Donald Trump consider it The permissible fall of Ukraine? At this stage, no one can say that. For the future of NATO – and Europe – this is the most unknown explosion” – ORENIA” Le Monde “.
