Whittaker categorically denies that Putin is closer to Trump than Europe "Vladimir Putin is what he is. Maybe we want it to be different. We might want him to agree to what we all think is a reasonable deal. But he won't," US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whittaker said during a panel discussion at the Berlin Security Conference. He pointed out that the official presence of European representatives at the negotiating table is not as important as ending the war and establishing a sustainable peace.
