Trump's tirade of ears – reports the New York Times – is contained in a series of letters sent last month to leaders of some countries, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel . In this latest letter, the US president is very strict with Germany, accusing him of "undermining the security of the Atlantic alliance" and giving the wrong example, pushing other allies to not respect their commitments regarding military expenditure. A raw tongue and glabrous language that can only make disappear even more Washington and Berlin.
"It is increasingly difficult – the chancellor writes to the Chancellor – to justify to the Americans why some countries do not share the weight of security in the New World, while American soldiers continue to sacrifice their lives to the United States. stranger or to return home seriously injured ". A pbadage – underlines the Nyt – that could foreshadow a repositioning of the US military presence in the world if the allies do not spend and spend more on their security
Among the letters sent by the White House also to the Canadian president Justin Trudeau and the Prime Ministers of Belgium and Norway. The basic theme is the one Trump has pursued since the election campaign started in 2015: many allies do not respect the provisions of the 2014 NATO summit in Wales, which is 2% of national defense GDP . The result is that the weight of security – repeatedly denounced the US president – eventually falls almost entirely on the shoulders of the United States
The NATO Summit in Brussels therefore risks d & # 39; exacerbate the unprecedented confrontation with the historic allies of the United States. It was used during the recent Canadian G7, when Trump ordered to withdraw the US signature from the final release following the tariff hustle. A fracture that seems to be getting deeper and which, at this stage, could favor Vladimir Putin, who aims at divisions on the Western Front in order to put an end to the sanctions against Moscow.
