Potential Trump Presidency Threatens NATO Stability
Simulations and expert analyses suggest a second Trump term could lead to a weakened NATO as the U.S. might reduce its support, risking European security.
- A wargame predicts NATO's collapse if Trump, critical of alliance spending, is reelected and reduces U.S. involvement.
- Trump's possible non-cooperation could leave NATO ineffectual, forcing Europe to reconsider its defense strategy independently.
- Legislation prohibits U.S. withdrawal from NATO without Congress, but Trump could still undermine the alliance from within.
- Experts fear a diminished NATO could lead to increased Russian aggression and a less stable Europe.
- Economic repercussions are also likely as diminished U.S. commitment could shake confidence in transatlantic trade and investment.
