Challenges and Strategies in Trump-Proofing NATO

NATO countries are implementing a three-pronged plan to maintain the alliance's strength and secure US support. The plan includes increasing defense spending among member countries, addressing US foreign policy priorities such as China, and appointing a male leader as NATO Secretary General to appeal to Donald Trump. The aim is to prevent a repeat of Trump's criticism of NATO and potential disregard for the mutual defense clause. The plan also involves flattery and diplomacy to keep Trump engaged with NATO and prevent any potential destabilization of the alliance.
