ANGST VOR PUTIN-RUSSLAND: Sicherheit egal? Donald Trump baut die NATO zur US-Geldmaschine um

FEAR OF PUTIN-RUSSIA: Security Doesn't Matter? Donald Trump Is Turning NATO into a US Money-Making Machine Is the NATO summit in Ankara focused on common security – or on multi-billion-dollar arms deals? Transatlantic correspondent Stefanie Bolzen explains why Donald Trump is increasingly viewing the alliance from an economic perspective. In her view, the meeting is increasingly becoming a summit for major industrial and arms deals. At the same time, European states are trying to adapt their cooperation with the US to the changed political realities. This involves arms deliveries to Ukraine, joint production, new industrial collaborations, and the question of how dependent Europe should remain on American arms technology in the future. #NATO #Trump #Arms #Europe Why does Stefanie Bolzen refer to it as a "deal-making summit"? In her assessment, economic interests and multi-billion-dollar industrial contracts are increasingly taking center stage at the NATO meeting. Trump is increasingly linking security policy commitments with economic benefits for the US. ... What significance do arms deals hold for Trump? Large export contracts strengthen the American defense industry and can be presented domestically as an economic success. This message plays a crucial role for Republicans in the run-up to the midterm elections. Is Europe's approach to Trump changing? Bolzen sees signs that several European governments are adopting a more assertive stance and are no longer blindly following Washington's demands on every point. At the same time, cooperation on security and defense policy remains of central importance to both sides. The NATO summit is likely to reveal how closely security policy, the defense industry, and economic interests will be intertwined in the future. #trump #nato #putin #weltnachrichtenkanal 🔔 Subscribe to our WELT-TV news channel!    / weltvideotv   Our YouTube channels: 📺 WELT DOKU    / @weltdoku   ⚽ WELT SPORT    / @welt-sport   🚀 WELT SPACE    / @weltspace   🛣️ WELT DRIVE    / @weltdrive   🪖 WELT HISTORY    / @welthistory   🍝 WELT FOOD    / @welt.food-rezepte   WELT News Live Stream http://bit.ly/2fwuMPg Our Top News on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2rQQD9Q Our Media Library on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2Iydxv8 WELT TV on Instagram   / welt.nachrichtensender   WELT on Instagram   / welt   Due to numerous offensive comments, comments are currently disabled.
