Swearing In Ceremony for Mark C. Poloncarz as Erie County Executive

Ex-Trump associate Lev Parnas warned that Donald Trump’s recent NATO letter amounts to a dangerous signal to Vladimir Putin. In a weekend essay, Parnas argued Trump’s demand that NATO impose massive tariffs on China until the Ukraine war ends reads less like foreign policy and more like a real estate shakedown. He claimed Trump is echoing Kremlin talking points by calling it “Biden’s and Zelenskyy’s war” and using inflated casualty numbers. According to Parnas, the letter proves Trump isn’t serious about NATO or democracy, but about leverage—sending Putin the message: “I got your back.”
