BRUSSELS, June 16. /TASS/. EU member states are concerned that US President Donald Trump could seek to negotiate with Russia without involving Washington's European allies, Politico reported.
According to the publication, concerns in Europe have been fueled by recent contacts between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, including a phone call on June 14 that lasted nearly an hour. Politico also noted that European officials are worried about the possibility of a new visit to Moscow by US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
