Some media says that G7 communique singles out China to accuse, but is entirely ignorant of the communique’s severe attacks of Russia as Russia not China is G7’s EU members’ major threat.
Therefore Defense One says in its report “NATO Condemns Russia’s ‘Aggressive Actions’ Ahead of Biden-Putin Meeting” on June 14 begins by saying, “NATO leaders emerged from their Monday summit united in their determination to counter Russia, but American officials have yet to convince their alliance counterparts to oppose China with similar full-throatedness.
The communique from the summit mentions Russia 62 times, and China just 10.”
NATO members are mostly EU members constantly under Russian threat. They certainly want the US to be harsh on Russia, but US President Joe Biden wants to meet Putin and seems will be warm with him.
That is especially true judging by Biden’s meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the sideline of NATO meeting. In spite of US tensions with Turkey, the meeting seems quite friendly.
In spite of US-Turkey tensions, Biden said at the NATO summit that he had a “positive and productive” talk with Erdogan at their meeting, while Erdogan said at a press conference following the bilateral meeting that he believes “there are no problems in Turkey-U.S. ties that don’t have a solution.”
Does Biden believe that there are no problems in US-Russia ties in spite of US-Russia tensions, European leaders wonder.
