YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Former U.S. Army Europe commander Ben Hodges explains why the Kremlin left the summit disappointed, why Ukraine should remain cautious about President Trump's promises, and why European allies should stop trying to predict Trump's next move. Instead, he argues, NATO should focus on readiness, deterrence and preparing for a long-term confrontation with Russia.

In a wide-ranging conversation with DW's Ines Pohl, Hodges also discusses Iran, Turkey's possible return to the F-35 program, and the future of the transatlantic alliance.
