Ian Lesser, a Distinguished Fellow and Advisor to the President of the German Marshall Fund of the United States, has discussed the perspective of former President Trump on the threat Russia poses to European security.
According to Lesser, Trump "doesn't completely share the European view about the nature of the threat to European security that Russian behaviour poses."
Lesser further explained that for Trump, this is a conflict to be "gotten over" and "moved off the table." He added that Trump would find it favorable "if Europe can take the lead in doing that."
These comments highlight a potential difference in foreign policy outlook regarding Russia between Trump's reported views and the prevailing European assessment of regional security.
