Summary/Abstract: The confidential nature of U.S. President Donald Trump’s talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and the uncertainty surrounding any arrangements agreed during them may have a negative impact on NATO’s further adaptation to threats from Russia. For some Alliance members, the talks may be a signal that instead of investing in deterrence and defence, NATO should look for ways to resume cooperation with Russia. In that case, the Alliance would also find it more difficult to maintain consensus on support for Ukraine and Georgia.
