Trump’s proposed Russia deal raises NATO alarm as ex-commander warns Putin seeks influence over Europe

Résumé détaillé

President Donald Trump says a Russia deal could involve "all of Europe" as retired Gen. Philip Breedlove warns Putin wants spheres of influence.

President Donald Trump weighs in on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and discusses efforts to bring an end to the conflict. Trump also addresses Russia's decision to stay out of the U.S.-Iran conflict, highlighting the latest developments in U.S. foreign policy and relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

President Donald Trump's push for a deal with Russia to end the war in Ukraine and potentially reshape European security has raised alarm among NATO allies, with a former top alliance commander warning Fox News Digital that President Vladimir Putin has long sought to divide the world into competing spheres of influence.

The warning came as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also appeared to reject what he called a potential "Yalta 2.0," and NATO allies debated direct outreach to Putin ahead of delegations preparing for talks in Abu Dhabi on Nov. 10-11.

Retired Gen. Philip Breedlove, the former Supreme Allied Commander Europe, warned that Putin's ambitions extend far beyond Ukraine and reflect a broader vision for how global powers should divide influence.

"Putin has a plan for the world, and he has pushed that plan on leaders several times," Breedlove warned before adding: "He talks about it and he writes about it."
