Why Europe shouldn't get too excited over Trump's peace drive I Berlin Briefing Podcast

“Somebody better decide pretty quickly whether they are prepared to have the risk of combat with Russian forces” Trump’s former National Security Adviser John Bolton tells Berlin Briefing. In this episode, DW ‘s top political correspondents Michaela Küfner and Nina Haase unpack the question of security guarantees with Ambassador Bolton: Why the idea spooks German politicians into wanting to postpone the issue while German Chancellor Merz and his European allies still hope Trump will take the lead. Ambassador Bolton warns that that won’t happen. He predicts Trump will lose interest while Putin is playing for time.
