Invited in mid-August to a roundtable organized by the television channel AlQahera News, I had the opportunity to debate a burning current topic: the positions of European heads of state facing President Donald Trump, within the framework of their efforts to guarantee continued aid to Ukraine.

Lors des réunions de mi-août, le style de négociation affirmé du président Trump a révélé de profondes divisions parmi les dirigeants européens. Malgré l’impulsion de la France et du président Macron pour une position commune sur l’aide à l’Ukraine, la coalition est restée fragmentée, chaque membre affichant un engagement différent.
Ce manque d’unité a permis à Trump de négocier de manière bilatérale, affaiblissant ainsi la position collective de l’Europe. En conséquence, le soutien à l’Ukraine s’en trouve diminué et la pression sur la Russie s’atténue. Pour la sécurité de l’Ukraine et de l’Europe, il est crucial que les dirigeants européens surmontent leurs divergences nationales et forment un front commun face à l’agression russe.
Le conflit persistant en Ukraine a profondément bouleversé l’échiquier diplomatique et sécuritaire mondial, constituant l’un des plus grands défis à la cohésion occidentale et au leadership américain depuis la fin de la guerre froide. Cette guerre a révélé et mis à l’épreuve les mécanismes de l’alliance occidentale, obligeant les gouvernements à repenser leur stratégie de
The Ukraine war has done more than redraw maps—it has fundamentally reshaped the architecture of global security. While headlines focus on battlefield developments, three seismic shifts are quietly redefining how nations build alliances, project power, and secure their futures.
NATO has undergone its most dramatic transformation since 1949, with 300,000 troops now maintained at high readiness. But the real story lies beneath the surface: rare earth elements have emerged as diplomatic weapons more powerful than conventional arms. China’s control of 85% of rare earth processing creates a strategic vulnerability that’s forcing Western nations to rethink everything from alliance partnerships to supply chain security.
Meanwhile, America’s $100+ billion commitment to Ukraine signals a profound evolution in U.S. global strategy—one that raises critical questions about burden-sharing, strategic priorities, and the sustainability of commitments as China competition intensifies.
The convergence of these forces is creating a new international order where traditional geographic alliances intersect with resource-based partnerships, where European strategic autonomy paradoxically depends on increased cooperation, and where the future of security may be determined as much by mineral deposits as by military deployments.
