The phone conversation between Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump has become a turning point for the Euro-Atlantic partnership. Washington demands that European countries ensure their own security, which means the end of the "American century" in Europe.
This is stated in an analytical material posted on the website of the CNN channel. It notes that the phone conversation between Putin and Trump and the call of Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth to European countries to "take over the conventional security of the continent" have become "geopolitical thunderbolts" for the US's European allies.
“The primary point demonstrates Trump’s “America First” ideology and his tendency to view every issue and every alliance in terms of their financial appeal.
It also highlights that the establishment advisers, who know the mythology of Western foreign policy and whom Trump blames for the failures of his first term, no longer constrain his freedom,” the article says.
