EU member states are concerned that US President Donald Trump could seek to negotiate with Russia without involving Washington’s European allies, Politico reported.
– According to the publication, concerns in Europe have been fueled by recent contacts between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, including a phone call on June 14 that lasted nearly an hour. Politico also noted that European officials are worried about the possibility of a new visit to Moscow by US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
– Such developments have heightened concerns that Washington may pursue direct bilateral talks with Moscow, sidelining European partners, the publication said.
– Politico added that European governments are closely monitoring US-Russia contacts amid ongoing discussions on security issues and efforts to resolve international crises.
