Inside Trump’s masterplan to end the Iran war and make Europeans ‘sit up’ and pay their fair share

President Donald Trump has dropped a geopolitical bombshell: the US is ‘on the verge’ of leaving NATO. Labelling the alliance a ‘paper tiger’ after allies failed to support the US mission in the Strait of Hormuz, Trump has signalled a rapid exit from the Iran conflict—with or without a deal.

In this exclusive interview, global defence expert Peter Apps breaks down the ‘ballsy’ reality of Trump’s exit strategy. Is this a reckless abandonment of the West, or a masterstroke to end ‘forever wars’ and force Europe to finally stand on its own two feet? We discuss the ‘blind panic’ in European security, the future of the UK’s ‘Special Relationship’, and whether Vladimir Putin is the real winner of this diplomatic earthquake.

Peter Apps’s book ‘The Next World War: The New Age of Global Conflict and the Fight to Stop it’ is out now.
