The Trump administration is considering a sweeping overhaul of the security framework between Russia and Europe as part of negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, Walter Bloomberg reported on November 10.
The administration is pursuing a plan to renegotiate Europe’s security architecture, including Russia’s long-standing demands over NATO expansion and the deployment of Western military forces.
Russia welcomed the approach, while European countries said existing security agreements must be respected. The proposal has also raised concern that Russia could expand its influence in Eastern Europe.
Negotiators from the US, Russia, Ukraine and Europe are currently holding talks in Abu Dhabi. A breakthrough in the near term is seen as unlikely.
