Trump 2.0 may be a tipping point for NATO

During his first term, President Trump was often critical of NATO, arguing that European allies should spend more on defence, even threatening that the US might leave the alliance altogether. With Trump due to return to the White House this January, Michael Cox looks at what a second Trump presidency might mean for NATO. As he points out, Trump and many of those around him do not seem to be especially attached to the Alliance. As a transactional politician, Trump’s continued desire to remove the US from expensive foreign commitments may have serious implications for the UK, Europe, and for European security more generally.
