Trump says Ukraine can win \u2014 but should Europe believe him?<\/p>\n
At a hectic U.N. General Assembly in New York, U.S. President Donald Trump stunned world leaders with a dramatic rhetorical reversal on the war in Ukraine, mocking Russia as a \u201cpaper tiger\u201d and urging NATO allies to shoot down Russian aircraft. Host Sarah Wheaton unpacks what this means with POLITICO\u2019s Clea Caulcutt and Nick Vinocur, reporting from Manhattan \u2014 and asks whether Europe can trust Trump\u2019s new tune.<\/p>\n
Then we turn to a different transatlantic question: Europe\u2019s own defense. Sarah sits down with Latvian President Edgars Rink\u0113vi\u010ds and Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen for candid reflections on NATO, neutrality and how their countries see the threat from Russia.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a week of motorcade gridlock, geopolitical pivots and presidential soul-searching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trump says Ukraine can win \u2014 but should Europe believe him?
