How do you deal with a bully?
President Trump will be meeting with world leaders at NATO summit. He is meeting with Russian counterpart in Helsinki later.
The issues with trade and NATO fees are casting a long shadow over the meeting. President Trump reportedly threatened the NATO member states with a warning that they must protect themselves on their own.
Friends or foes?
On the trade issue, now China joined the group of nations that imposed tariffs on US products, countering the US imposed tariffs on their products. Many of the NATO member states suffer from the tariffs, which the President claims would make it fair. Reportedly, he dislikes the EU and claims that it is worse than China.
Peace through (diplomatic) strength?
On Russia, the criticisms against the President goes that he is 'conciliatory'. On issues of North Korea, Ukraine, and Syria, the President reportedly is not taking some confrontational 'attitude'. Whoever having the upper hands, Russia is still under sanctions by the UK and EU, and the allies.
How, do you deal with bullies? Are they friends or foes? Let's say, it probably is naive calling friends friends, or foes foes here.
