Tusk on Trump's policy toward Europe: Military vacation is over

US President Donald Trump's approach to Europe means that Europe's "military vacation" is over. This opinion was expressed by the Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk, according to RMF 24.

"It seems that it has finally dawned on everyone that the position of President Trump and the Washington administration is unequivocal," he said .

The Prime Minister noted that Europe has decided to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP and focus on protecting its external borders. However, the European average in this regard is still unsatisfactory, and some countries are very active in resisting this.

"There are countries that have achieved a good level of spending, such as Greece. There are countries that are constantly fighting back against increased spending, I think, a little bit underestimating the threat just because they are far away from Russia," he said .

According to Tusk, he is not outraged by this, because in case of a real threat, the EU countries will "take care of each other".

• President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, speaking at a forum in the Netherlands on June 24, warned that Russia is preparing new operations against Europe. He believes that as long as Putin kills, he lives.
• On June 27, the Foreign Intelligence Service said that Russia is seeking to split Moldova ahead of the summit with the EU. Moscow has intensified hybrid operations to form a pro-Russian government in the country.
