Trump's proposed Russia deal raises alarm among NATO allies, with warnings of Putin's aim to divide Europe

President Donald Trump's initiative to broker a deal with Russia to end the war in Ukraine and potentially redefine European security has sparked concern among NATO allies. A former top alliance commander warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin's long-term goal is to establish spheres of influence, with Russia controlling Europe.
