US Divided Europe on War Effort, Diplomacy Sparks Concern

The United States is now being accused of undermining a unified European response to the ongoing conflict with Russia, three years after it helped rally support for Ukraine. President Donald Trump’s push to end the war has sparked concerns among European leaders and policymakers that their countries are becoming increasingly divided on how to handle the situation.

European leaders feel that the US is taking a more diplomatic approach, focusing on negotiations with Russia, while some of its allies in Eastern Europe remain committed to military action. This divide has raised questions about the strength and consistency of the European response, and whether it can effectively counter Russian aggression.
