European leaders are grappling with a rapidly shifting U.S. foreign policy under Trump, which affects their approach to the war in Ukraine. During a recent summit in Paris, leaders expressed long-term support for Ukraine but recognized decreasing enthusiasm for a proposed 'coalition of the willing.' Instead, the focus shifted toward enhancing Ukraine's arms production and addressing defensive gaps. Concerns about potential U.S.-Russia rapprochement under Trump's administration also raised fears regarding future aggression from Putin, compelling European nations to reconsider their defense spending strategies and prepare for possible economic conflicts.
The pace of change in U.S. foreign policy is alarming European leaders, as they must navigate the uncertainties of Trump's rhetoric and actions, particularly regarding Ukraine.
European leaders reaffirmed long-term support for Ukraine but have grown less enthusiastic about the idea of a 'coalition of the willing,' focusing instead on buying weapons and increasing arms production.
