The supposed reassurance comes as the French government reportedly predicts a situation where the nation could face an influx of wounded soldiers.
However, the French Health Minister, Catherine Vautrin, said the precautions are ‘perfectly normal for the country to anticipate crises and their consequences’, citing the Covid-19 pandemic as an example.
Germany’s Chief of Defence, Carsten Breuer, also stated that NATO and his country’s forces are on alert ahead of Russia’s upcoming military drills.
Although Brueuer said he doesn’t anticipate Putin would attack NATO territory, as Russia has a military training base in Belarus, Germany would ‘be on guard.’
JD Vance has sparked concern after giving an undeniably ‘strange’ response about Donald Trump’s health.
People have been worried about the president of late after he was spotted with a ‘large bruise’ on his hand, which his team recently attempted to cover up with what appeared to be copious amounts of foundation.
As well as this, earlier in the summer Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition that occurs when your leg veins become damaged and can’t work as they should.
The diagnosis came around the time the president celebrated his 79th birthday in June. Trump was the oldest person to be inaugurated as president in January at the age of 78.
With all these factors in mind, his vice president, JD Vance, was quizzed about Trump’s health and if he would be prepared to step up if needed.

« I’ve had a lot of on-the-job training in the last 200 days, but the president is in incredibly good health. He’s got incredible energy, » Vance, 41, told USA Today.
« While most of the people who work around the president of the United States are younger than he is, I think that we find that he’s actually the last person to go to sleep, he’s the last person making phone calls at night, and he’s the first person who wakes up and is the first person making phone calls in the morning. »
