Expert: European leaders restless over Trump's meeting with Putin

A summit between Trump and Putin in Moscow has been welcomed by both the Kremlin and Washington. However, for Europe, the new negotiations over Ukraine are a significant concern. "It will keep many European leaders awake at night," Mark Rhinard, a professor and chairman of the board at the Stockholm Center on Global Governance, based at Stockholm University, said in Dagens Nyheter on Wednesday.

Mark Rhinard believes that Donald Trump could reach an agreement, but he is unsure whether he will be able to follow through.

"The more difficult question is one of implementation. Many agreements have collapsed within just a few days. And unfortunately, Donald Trump tends to struggle with maintaining focus for long periods," he said.
