Trump's commitment to European security is stable — German general

Reinhard Wolski, retired Bundeswehr general and head of the Berlin Security Conference, stated this in an interview with Espreso TV.

"I think it is true that possibly the United States of America will shift their focus a little bit more to the Indo-Pacific area. They have said so and basically stated that Europe, and the Europeans, basically have to organize their continent by themselves. Having said that, of course, there are NATO commitments for the time being, I think that's a radical change in the U.S. President's opinion that he is committed to resolving the Ukrainian conflict. I think he will stick to it," the general commented.

In his opinion, it will then be up to how Europe organizes itself and what it will do to support Ukraine and its sovereign status within its borders. Then the Americans might, perhaps, shift their focus a little.

"You see that there's no withdrawal of any American forces from Europe. They are all here. They're possibly going far more east than before. So, the commitment of President Trump regarding the security of Europe currently is stable and staying as it is. Having said that, it might change when the conflict is being resolved," Wolski noted.

• Earlier, Reuters reported that the U.S. is considering limiting military aid to Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, which is already causing alarm among European diplomats and security experts.
