Nato can survive without ‘naive' Trump, says Wallace

Britain and other European nations must be ready to take over Nato if Donald Trump carries out US threats to withdraw from the organisation.

“We are witnessing a new era where we cannot take for granted US security guarantees,” said Sir Ben. He accused President Trump of trying to “bully” Ukraine and “suffocate” its hopes of defeating Russia.

At last, the King is emerging from his mother’s shadow

As he himself has obliquely acknowledged, his mother was always going to be a hard act to follow, but in his speech to Congress, King Charles has emerged from the inevitably long shadow cast by the late Queen’s 70-year reign and global stature.
