Rasmussen suggests Europe blackmail Trump

Former NATO Secretary General Anders Rasmussen has proposed that European leaders attempt to leverage the Iran crisis to secure concessions from President Donald Trump. Rasmussen suggested Europe should offer to help the U.S. resolve the situation with Iran in exchange for Trump halting tariffs on allies and committing to continued U.S. engagement in NATO and support for Ukraine. This proposal highlights the deep European anxiety over Trump's transactional foreign policy and potential isolationism. The comments reflect a strategic debate in Europe on how to manage relations with the Trump administration amid ongoing global crises.
