Donald Trump repeatedly says he wants to end the war in Ukraine. But the question remains what kind of peace he has in mind - and for whose benefit such a solution would actually be. If we want to understand his current position on Ukraine and Russia, it is worth recalling one of his most significant diplomatic initiatives of the past: an unexpected and controversial meeting with the leader of North Korea during his first term. This episode may suggest much about Trump's negotiating style and what we can expect next. EUROPEUM Institute analyst Tereza Novotna discusses this topic for Asia Times.

The Trump administration's unexpected introduction of “liberation tariffs” has shaken global trade. The United States has increased the basic tariff on all imports and introduced new targeted levies that have hit not only China but also allies such as the EU, Japan and South Korea.

The European security environment has changed fundamentally over the past decade in response to growing geopolitical risks. Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the growing influence of authoritarian powers such as China and Russia, and escalating tensions in key regions such as the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific are reshaping the way Europe views its security and defence. These challenges are leading to a deepening of defence cooperation within and outside the EU, which includes the development of new policies, structures and initiatives, and cooperation with NATO also underlines the need for strategic alignment between European and transatlantic partners. Written by EUROPEUM Institute researcher Zuzana Krulichová and research associate fellow Tereza Novotná.
