00:00So, what do you think it is that's motivating President Donald Trump here?
00:05Well, President Trump and his Make America First agenda is clearly geared towards recoupling
00:14from Europe.
00:16I think he sees himself par to par with the big players in Moscow and in Beijing.
00:23He certainly has no interest to really keep the traditional alliances and partnerships
00:31that the United States has built over the past 70 plus years.
00:36He wants to, I think, use the relationships that he is about to reset with President Putin
00:45in order to make gains, profitable, economic, financial, personal gains, but also to establish
00:54the United States as an actor with, or rather a country, a global power, with whom people
01:03must reckon, but not in a predictable way.
01:06He uses on purpose this shock and awe, disruptive strategy, makes everybody guessing, puts everybody
01:13under time pressure, threatens allies left and right hand.
01:17So, this, I think, is all part of his strategy.
