"NYT": Trump dreams of his own Yalta. Will a historic agreement be reached without Europe?

Donald Trump seeks a significant diplomatic agreement reminiscent of the 1945 Yalta Conference, potentially compromising Ukraine's autonomy. His administration has shown signs of closer ties with Russia and China, including purchasing Russian oil and preparing for a summit with both nations. This shift has raised concerns among European allies, who feel the U.S. is retreating from its role as a security guarantor. As a result, Europe is compelled to enhance its defense capabilities independently. Ukraine, despite reduced U.S. support, is actively seeking security guarantees from European partners. The situation poses a challenge for European unity in the face of new geopolitical realities.
