The Impact of a New President on NATO

This chapter discusses the potential impact of a new president on NATO and analyzes Trump's position and its resonance in the United States. It explores how Trump's stance of not honoring Article 5 unless Europeans pay more resonates with populist sentiment and questions why the US has to fund European defense. The chapter also delves into the idea that a more effective arrangement would be for the US to support European balance conducted mainly by Europeans, and that NATO should be Europeanized.
