Rasmussen Urges Korea, Japan, EU and Australia to Form D7 Amid Trump Uncertainty

Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, 73, has proposed a new forum of democratic countries to confront the uncertainty that has deepened since Donald Trump returned to the U.S. presidency. Rasmussen suggested creating a so-called “D7” that would include South Korea, Japan, the European Union and Australia. The idea was presented as a response to concerns that predictability around alliances and the international order has weakened under Trump’s renewed presidency. If pursued, the D7 could become a broader framework for coordination among major democratic partners. Source: mk.co.kr.
