He calls for a 'real alliance' amid concerns over U.S. commitment and suggests revisiting mutual defense clauses following political shifts in Hungary.
Europe's pressing challenge, as per Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, lies in assessing the United States' fidelity to NATO in the event of a Russian attack, he expressed to the Financial Times.
Highlighting growing distrust in President Donald Trump's policies, Tusk urged the European Union to forge a 'real alliance' for continent-wide protection. His comments come amid a background of apprehensions about NATO's readiness, both politically and logistically, to respond to potential Russian aggression.
