"They'll make a real effort to sell what frankly are the same arguments that have so far failed to persuade the White House," he said.Merz also has called for stiffer EU sanctions on Vladimir Putin and Russia - something Trump has so far not committed to, even as some lawmakers from within his own party have escalated calls to do so.

Earlier this week, Leavitt said only that Trump has "kept this as a tool in his toolbox if necessary"."The strange thing for me is, that we haven't heard President Trump say yet, is that Europe has lots of cards it can play on its own," Mr Logan said, pointing to $228bn in frozen Russian assets held primarily in Belgium."That's money that's just sitting there," he said.

From the White House's point of view, the issue of Ukraine's defence is also inextricably linked to Trump's demands that NATO allies raise defence spending to 5% of their GDP.Germany's is 2% - well short of Trump's target, although German officials have signalled a willingness to move in that direction.

"I don't think they've done enough," Mr Logan added. "And I suspect they can't do enough. The White House has to know that 5% is not a goal that any of the major European countries are going to reach."

"The question then becomes: What's next?""It's absolutely critical that we build these reservoirs now," David Henderson, chief executive of Water UK, told BBC News.

"If we don't build them now, we wait another 10 years, it's going to cost even more, so we can't keep kicking the can down the road any longer."But building reservoirs doesn't come cheaply, even with accelerated planning processes. That could ultimately filter down to people's bills.

Nor does it come quickly. No new major reservoirs are due to be completed this decade.Some experts highlight that reservoirs are no silver bullet, and warn that managing how we use water needs to take greater precedence in a warming climate.
