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 use the ongoing conflict as leverage to pressure the US administration on other policy areas. The comments highlight the deepening strategic rift between the US and its European allies over the war with Iran. This proposal comes amid reports of a White House 'naughty list' targeting NATO members who have refused to support the US in the conflict.
