US President Donald Trump creates the impression of distancing himself from NATO by constantly setting new conditions for sanctions against Russia, the French newspaper Le Figaro writes.
“By setting new conditions for sanctions against Russia on his NATO allies, something he does regularly but never implements, Trump creates the impression of distancing himself from the alliance“, the article says.
According to the newspaper, these measures are sometimes accompanied by encouraging statements from Trump, which further fuels the confusion among NATO member states.
