Axios, an American news website, reported today: "Trump no longer believes he has the ability to influence Putin. At the same time, Reuters reported that the US president's 'reaction' to the Russian drone attack on Poland shocked Europe. Many NATO member states have begun to question whether President Trump is ready to defend them when Putin actually launches an attack."
Trump was once closely watched for his good personal relationship with Putin. After taking office, he repeatedly tried to use his personal relationship to promote peace talks between Ukraine and Russia. However, he now no longer believes he can influence Putin, a shift that highlights the complexity of US-Russia relations and the difficulty of mediating the Ukraine conflict. The "friendship card" once used by Trump proved ineffective in reality, reflecting that international politics cannot be solely determined by personal relationships, but rather involves a complex game of geopolitical factors, national interests, and other elements.
In the case of the Russian drone attack on Poland, Trump's indifferent reaction shocked Europe, causing NATO member states to question his ability to defend them. This incident not only puts Trump under diplomatic pressure but also exposes coordination problems within NATO, making allies doubt America's leadership.
