3. Foreign media: The first meeting between Europe and the Trump administration ended, and the US-EU alliance fell into crisis

According to foreign media reports, at the end of the first meeting between Europe and the Trump administration, many key issues remained unresolved, but one thing was clear: an epoch-making rift seemed to have appeared in the Western alliance. After three years of war, a new unity has forged within NATO, and the Trump administration has made it clear that it plans to focus its attention on Asia, Latin America, the Arctic, and wherever President Trump believes the United States has access to critical mineral rights. European officials said after a meeting with the US Secretary of Defense that tens of thousands of US troops are expected to be withdrawn from Europe, and the only question is how many and how quickly they will be withdrawn. They fear that in one-on-one negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump may agree to terms that could eventually give Moscow a fifth of Ukraine and occupy the rest in a few years. Putin's ultimate goal, they argued, was to split NATO.
