The new American administration wishes to send the message that Poland and the eastern NATO side are still important to the United States
The European Union blows hot and cold with its NATO allies. After controversial remarks on the future of Ukraine and NATO, the new American defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, will go to Poland.
By choosing Poland as a first bilateral destination, the new American administration wishes to send the message that Poland and the oriental side of NATO are still important for the United States.
Pete Hegseth said it was unlikely that the United States will support the main peace requests from Ukraine, including return to its borders before 2014 and its long-standing aspirations for membership of the NATO, which Mr. Hegseth described as“Unrealistic ».
On Thursday, the American secretary to the defense insisted that the rapid initiative of President Donald Trump in favor of peace talks on the Russian war in Ukraine was not a betrayal of Kyiv by one of his most important allies.
Some European politicians have been worried. Kaja Kallas, head of EU diplomacy, said on X: ” The independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine are unconditional ”.
