„Trump împarte NATO în aliați buni și răi”. Franța, Marea Britanie și statele baltice, excluse de la reuniunea despre viitorul alianței

U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby meets in Poland with representatives from Sweden, Finland, Poland, Germany, and the Netherlands to discuss NATO's future. The exclusion of the UK, France, and Baltic states raises concerns among experts about potential divisions within the alliance. Known as the Bergen Group, this format aims to address NATO's evolution towards a model where Europe takes more responsibility for its defense. Critics argue that this could create a hierarchy among allies, favoring certain nations over others. The absence of the Baltic states, which are significant defense spenders, is particularly notable given their frontline position against Russia. Experts warn that this separation may lead to perceptions of U.S. favoritism in defense commitments.
