Donald Trump on the sidelines in France where he attended the re-opening of a change of direction of U.S. involvement in helping NATO and Ukraine.
This was also confirmed by the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov speaking at the OSCE conference in Malta. The Russian take the signaling of the European and U.S. as concerning. Trump is perceived as the rising star on the foreign affair domain as a tough negotiator.
The toughness becomes evident with the former Lithuanian prime minister becoming the first dedicated defense commissioner this month, tasked with turbocharging Europe’s defense industry and the stuttering push to rearm.
Donald Trump is counting on the rearmament of the Europeans. The American tough hand played by Trump is not an act. It was shaped by years of dealings in the toughest property market, the gambling and money markets. Donald Trump will to “fight” was evident in his response to the shooting, “Fight, fight, fight” became a battle cry.
Voices in the U.S. is concerned about NATO but all the pundits forget Trump is a gambler, he says one thing and does another. Creating strategic ambiguity is the trump card, so the pun, and keep the Russians guessing.
Vladimir Putin should not be under any illusions. Donald J. Trump is a fighter. He has the guts to defend the United States and take on the Russian Federation. If anyone challenges this assumption, even it is China or Russia will experience the wrath of the United States.
Since his unofficial inauguration at the French opening of Notre Dame the mood has changed. Heads of states who attended the opening were seen get close to the U.S. president. A shift of power has occurred.
