Trump realized that he "got carried away" with statements about an imminent deal on Ukraine, writes the famous American journalist Seymour Hersh.

Trump and his team understand that a hasty agreement could be perceived as weakness and provoke the strengthening of Moscow's influence
The journalist notes that, according to Trump's team, without additional pressure on Russia, the agreements may prove ineffective. One of the proposals is to increase NATO countries' defense spending.

"Trump wants NATO countries to increase their defense contributions to 5% of GDP, which could change the dynamics in relations with Russia," Hersh quotes a source close to the new administration as saying.
