Trump Moves Look Like 'Putin’s Dream Plan'—Key NATO Ally

Action led by Donald Trump has contributed to what "looks like Putin’s dream plan," a key NATO ally's leader has warned. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote in a post on X on Thursday: ”

The threat of NATO’s break-up, easing sanctions on Russia, a massive energy crisis in Europe, halting aid for Ukraine and blocking the loan for Kyiv by Orbán - it all looks like Putin’s dream plan." President Trump said he would consider pulling the U.S. from NATO after the Iran war, in comments published by a British newspaper on Wednesday, as Eurpean leaders met to coordinate plans to tackle an energy crisis escalated by the Iran war. Last month, the U.S. temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian oil at sea in a bid to limit energy prices, soaring since the Iran war.

Last year, the Trump adminstration temporarily halted military aid to Ukraine following a combustable White House meeting between the U.S. president and Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky. This is a breaking news story; updates to follow.
