Trump's new world order has become real and Europe is having to adjust fast

Rachel Ellehuus, Director-General of defence think-tank RUSI told me she sees a rift opening up across the continent. One the one hand, you have the Nordic and Baltic nations that are geographically close to Russia, and also Germany and the Netherlands, which are all big defence spenders, she says, whereas in southern Europe, there's Spain, for example, that is absolutely unapologetic about refusing to increase defence budgets to the levels demanded by Donald Trump. France and Britain are both verbally committed to boosting defence spending, says Ellehuus, but are still looking for a "political band aid" to help them explain to voters the trade-offs that will involve - higher taxes, less welfare or more borrowing. "Europeans need to get to work yesterday and to focus," she says. "They have 5-10 years to stand on their own two feet in terms of conventional defence capabilities."
