NATO members waiting for Trump before deciding on Ukraine invitation, Latvia says
english.alarabiya.net/News/world/2024/12/03/nato-members-waiting-for-trump-before-deciding-on-ukraine-invitation-latvia-says
Quick Glance: EU and NATO Seek Trump's Support for Ukraine
- EU and NATO representatives aim to persuade future US President Donald Trump to continue supporting Ukraine.
- Three main arguments are presented: a deal with Putin would signify a defeat for Trump, aiding Ukraine might align with his reelection strategy, and a Russian victory could embolden other dictatorships.
- Mark Rutte, the new NATO Secretary-General, warned Trump about the long-term threats of an alliance among Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran.
- European diplomats fear their arguments may not be sufficient to sway Trump, as they lack substantial leverage.
