MOSCOW, September 5 – RIA Novosti. A new statement by White House head Donald Trump about Russian President Vladimir Putin will complicate US relations with NATO, writes the Daily Mail.

"Trump's refusal to condemn the Kremlin is likely to heighten concerns about the US commitment to NATO," the publication said.

The article notes that the US President's statements came against the backdrop of his sending envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to Moscow and Kyiv with a plan to end the conflict in Ukraine.

The day before, Trump said that Putin does not seek to attack the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance, emphasizing that he knows the Russian leader well and maintains contacts with him. The statement came in response to a question about his previous words that under his presidency, Putin would not attack the territory of NATO countries. The journalist also asked Trump whether a drone discovered at a German airport, for which Berlin blamed Russia, could be considered an attack on the alliance.
