  • By embracing Russia and castigating Ukraine, President Donald Trump has rattled U.S. allies around the world, causing them to question if Washington is still a trusted partner.

  • Governments in Europe and democracies around the world are treating Trump’s actions and statements not as provocative posturing, but as an earthquake.
