The move aims to prevent undesired delays by streamlining preparations for the assembly elections due in a few months, BJP's Mumbai unit chief <keyword id="6367689" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ashish-Shelar" source="Orion">Ashish Shelar</keyword> told reporters on Sunday. "The core committee (of the state unit) has met in Mumbai to delegate all decision-making powers concerning seat-sharing and the selection of assembly constituencies to Fadnavis," he said. Party observer and Union minister Bhupender Yadav, BJP national secretary Vinod Tawde, Union minister and Mumbai North MP Piyush Goyal also attended the meeting. Of the 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra, the BJP won 104 in 2019. Shelar confirmed finalisation of the "formula for winning, besides the planning and seat-sharing arrangements with the allies". "Fadnavis has been granted full authority in this regard," he said. The BJP-led Mahayuti, also comprising Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena and the NCP headed by Ajit Pawar, won only 17 of the 48 Lok Sabha seats in the state in the recent parliamentary polls. The BJP's tally came down to 9 from 23 five years ago. The Maha Vikas Aghadi, consisting of the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP), bagged 30 seats. Shelar said, "We have decided to save time by streamlining the planning, discussions, and decision-making processes with all the NDA constituents to finalise the candidates. Once this is done, we can begin preparations for the assembly polls. The list of candidates will be released at the appropriate time." After the BJP's Lok Sabha tally came down to 9 in Maharashtra, Fadnavis had offered to quit the deputy CM's post to enable him to focus on party work ahead of assembly elections. Later, after a party meeting where state BJP legislators passed a resolution reposing faith in him, Fadnavis said he would continue to work.

He knows this.""So, really, stop worrying about a Trump presidency. We do not know who will win. I will work with Kamala Harris if she is chosen, I will work with Donald Trump if he is chosen," he added.Pressed by a reporter on whether he's worried about the US potentially withdrawing support for Ukraine, Rutte said: "I am not worried about that because I am absolutely convinced that the US is in this because they understand it is not only for Ukraine but also for them, and that from Washington to San Francisco, the whole of the US will be less secure if Putin would be successful in Ukraine."Before taking the helm at NATO, Rutte was the prime minister of the Netherlands for 14 years, during which time he developed a reputation as a "Trump whisperer."He earned the nickname after <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nato-next-chief-donald-trump-whisperer-vladimir-putin-critic-2024-6">successfully placating Trump during</a> a 2018 meeting in which the former president warned that the US would go its "own way" if other countries did not start spending more on their militaries, per <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.politico.eu/article/mark-rutte-nato-donald-trump-vladimir-putin/">Politico</a>.Rachel Rizzo, a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Europe Center, previously said that Rutte could help "Trump-proof" NATO."He's seen as cool, calm, and collected.

In late August, Josep Borrell, the EU's foreign policy chief, <a target="_blank" rel=" nofollow" class=""

election could be a decisive factor in NATO's trajectory in the coming years.Keir Giles, a senior consulting fellow at Chatham House's Russia and Eurasia Programme, said that "it's not going to get easier" if Trump is elected in November.During his time in office, the former president <a target="_blank" class=""

their GDP on defense.Congress passed a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.congress.gov/118/bills/sjres37/BILLS-118sjres37is.pdf">bill</a> in 2023 to prevent a president from suspending, terminating, denouncing, or withdrawing the US from NATO, except via an Act of Congress or the approval of two-thirds of senators in attendance.But if elected, Trump could still heavily influence NATO, including by reducing the US military presence in Ukraine, withholding support for NATO's Article 5 mutual defense pact, or limiting America's involvement in the alliance.In a rally <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-touts-russia-army-history-justify-deal-putin-over-ukraine-2024-9">speech</a> last month, he again argued for ending US involvement

said, pointing to Republicans blocking aid to Ukraine earlier this year.Friedman of Defense Priorities struck a more positive tone, saying he doesn't believe Trump is "seriously" considering withdrawing US commitment to the alliance.The "big question," Friedman says, is whether Trump, if elected, would behave like he did during his first term, which he said was "more bark than bite."Meanwhile, Prakash said that ongoing geopolitical flashpoints and tensions around the world could actually result in Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris being markedly similar US presidents on the world stage.Prakash cited the ongoing territorial disputes in the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-taking-over-south-sea-us-not-stopping-experts-philippines-2024-9">South China Sea</a> between the Philippines, a US ally, and China as likely the "single greatest" flash point facing the US right now.If Harris "feels that NATO doesn't connect with that in its current form, then she may also raise objections to NATO," he said. "So, it is not just Trump."<h2 id="005db675-3121-42fd-88f4-5f9564598e52">Looking beyond Europe</h2>NATO appears to be considering the possibility of a reduced US commitment to the alliance.In April, Stoltenberg, the outgoing secretary-general, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nato-plan-trump-proof-future-ukraine-aid-us-leadership-worries-2024-4">proposed</a> shifting control of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which organizes the delivery of weapons to Ukraine, from the US to the alliance.NATO also established the NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine, or <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nato-fueling-ukraine-fight-concerns-about-us-politics-2024-7">NSATU</a>, in July, to coordinate the future supply of military aid and training for Kyiv, amid growing concern about a potential change in US leadership.However, Rutte's past statements and familiarity with Trump suggest he would try to keep the US in the fold.<div type="image" title="Donald Trump (R) and former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte (L) posed for photographs in the Oval Office at the White House on July 18, 2019." height="3550" width="5325" msid="113849925" hostid="261" sizebytes="813472"></div>And in an <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2023/02/20/met-steun-aan-oekraine-verdedigen-we-onze-manier-van-leven-a4157623">op-ed</a> for Dutch newspaper NRC in 2023, a year after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Rutte stressed how different the first year of the war would have been without the "colossal" deployment of US material and resources.According to Prakash, Rutte is "coming into the role from a certain outlook, and that outlook is essentially saying: 'We need to stand with America.'"Beyond the most immediate threat of Russia in Europe, NATO may also want to tackle the China threat, he said.NATO's deputy secretary-general, Mircea Geoană, told <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.euronews.com/2024/07/12/china-is-a-threat-to-our-security-nato-deputy-chief-tells-euronews">Euronews</a> in July that China, as a direct enabler of Russia's war in Ukraine, threatened the alliance's security.Shifting NATO away from Russia and toward other threats is going to be "perhaps the greatest challenge facing Mark Rutte," Prakash said.All in all, it's likely to be a bumpy ride for NATO's new chief.
