NATO members' efforts to keep America on the Ukrainian battlefield

The weekly "Newsweek" claims that during their meetings, NATO members are making efforts to make sure Donald Trump, the recently appointed president of the USA, cannot lower the support for Ukraine of their nation. Monday's meeting between British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron covered likely US policy toward Ukraine's several possibilities.

Attending a celebration in Paris commemorating the 106th anniversary of the 1918 armistace, Starmer met the French president in a bilateral meeting before to the event. Trump's second term and the result of the 2024 presidential contest could have major effects on Ukraine's future.

Earlier, Trump referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as "the biggest salesman on the face of the earth" and attacked the level of aid the United States of America provides to Ukraine.

Monday, British Defense Secretary John Healey declared that he expects the Americans to remain with Ukraine until victory is certain. Ukraine has long sought authorization from England and the United States of America to launch long-range weapon attacks against Russian territory.

Fears that granting Ukraine permission to attack Russian territory would intensify the conflict have thus so far turned these requests down.

Earlier, "Newsweek" reported that "imminent crisis" Donald Trump's comeback to the White House has confronted the members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). These nations are concerned about their security as well as their confidence in the principal alliance partner, the United States of America.

2019 saw senior US government officials tell the "New York Times" newspaper that Trump had often attacked the NATO alliance and discussed leaving it during his first term as president.
