@elston_ Maybe Trump made a mistake insisting that the EU should increase its financial commitments? With that increase, comes demands, and the demands, given how stable an ally Trump has been lately, are very reasonably to end dependence on US technology as much as possible.

If the US does not change its stance, Nato will slowly disintegrate or be pulled apart into an EU centric part, and "the rest" which the US will manage, and very little cooperation between the two will exist.
