The concern expressed about Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in the statement of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk actually reflects the increasing tension on the Western alliance and the global balance of power. According to Tusk, Trump’s recent stances—such as questioning NATO, reducing aid to Ukraine, and relative softness toward Russia—could pose a risk to Europe’s security. Besides, the pressure on Europe on the issue of energy crisis and the politics of oil supply also makes this equation more complex. As far as US-Iran relations are concerned, there is no situation of direct war at present, but regional tensions, proxy conflicts and diplomatic confrontation over the nuclear program continue, making global geopolitics even more unstable.
