00:00 "The governments of Poland, France and Germany have vowed to make Europe a security and defence
00:06 power with a greater ability to back Ukraine. It's the message new Prime Minister Donald
00:12 Tusk took to both Paris and Berlin as he tries to revitalise his nation's relations with
00:18 key European partners. Fears grow that former President Donald Trump might return to the
00:24 White House and allow Russia to expand its aggression."
00:28 "Europe must become a safe continent, which means that the European Union, France and
00:35 Poland must become a strong and ready country for defence of our own borders, our own territory
00:42 and for defence and support of our allies and friends outside the European Union."
00:51 Tusk then headed for Berlin. His diplomatic push comes after Trump shocked many in Europe
00:58 over the weekend by appearing to invite Russia to invade any NATO member, not spending enough
01:04 on its own defence. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz blasted Donald Trump's comments without
01:10 mentioning him.
01:12 "The NATO's promise of defence is unlimited. Everyone for one, one for all. And let me
01:19 say it in a different way, any relativisation of the NATO's guarantee of defence is irresponsible
01:26 and dangerous and is only in the interests of Russia. No one is allowed to play with
01:32 Europe's security or deal with it."
01:35 The one-time President of the European Council, Tusk, says he sees the European Union becoming
01:42 a military power in its own right.
