Washington harms the alliance and pose a threat to it


“France Press”, quoting diplomats, stated that the United States’ position on NATO is harmful to the coalition foundations, and that the potential strategic rapprochement with Russia will constitute a major problem for it.

The agency quoted a diplomat in NATO as saying: “The level of optimism is certainly declining. The United States has not taken any concrete decisions yet, but it seems that every day that passes, cast a new blow on the grounds of the alliance,” the agency quoted a diplomat in NATO as saying.

According to the agency, Washington’s negotiations with Moscow raises fears in the coalition of the rapprochement between them. As another diplomat indicated, the tactical improvement in relations between the United States and Russia may be acceptable.

He added: “If this is a strategic shift, it is of course a big problem.”

Earlier, US President Donald Trump criticized Europe because of its low contribution to the NATO defensive ability, and called on all member states to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, while US Defense Minister Beit Higseth stressed that the United States has not yet planned to reduce its military presence in Europe.
