**Europeans are waiting to be informed about the Trump administration’s specific plans regarding its potential withdrawal of troops from their continent. They are closely watching the appointments and dismissals at the Pentagon.**
For now, the unease is limited to awkward glances and less firm handshakes than usual. There, a US defense attaché has become more evasive than usual with his European counterpart; here, a US Army general was less available during the visit of his transatlantic counterpart. “The changes in attitude are subtle, but the discomfort is clear,” said a European military source at the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in Brussels.
Since Donald Trump returned to the White House, relations between American and European officers have become increasingly strained due to the new administration’s expressed desire to militarily disengage from Europe in order to better redirect its forces toward Asia against China. “No one yet knows how this will materialize,” said the same military source. “There is a lot of uncertainty. And the American officers are the most upset about this still unclear situation.”
This tense context requires a constant balancing act. Like on Thursday, April 10, when a further meeting of the “coalition of the willing” took place at NATO headquarters, with allies ready to provide security guarantees to Ukraine, notably by sending ground troops.
Thirty-one countries were around the table, but not the United States, which, despite being a pillar of the alliance, was only present as an observer. As another European military source said, “Our goal is to continue the relationship with the Americans. But it is not the same with them, without them or only partially with them. We all know it won’t be like before.”

NATO: the world’s most awkward group project that still somehow submits everything on time
Well, thats not a surpise since americans are fucking traitors
Even before Trump i felt this was happening and cracks were showing their was massive disagreements about the Afghanistan withdrawal their was even reports by the BBC that the Americans didnt even tell its allies what was going on, but then the Ukraine war kind of brought everyone together again. Now with Trump well we all know how that shitshow is going.
They’re finally realising that their billions of funding for this war has been a total waste because Russia will win it and thank goodness for that. Ukraine has been a US colony for too long. Hopefully a few months from now, the Ukrainian imperialist resistance will break down and Russia will rule.
I give it 2 more years, then NATO will fall apart and a new defensive alliance will be created. One without the US.
Very easy solution! Remove all US military bases in Europe.
The entire “US threatening the sovereignty of other NATO members” might make things awkward. Big surprise.
Which country spends the most on NATO?
As an old guy from the cold war I hope there will be a new balance, with Europe in the lead but America still helping us. If not only because we have been freeloading on the US, at least us in Iceland. The balance should change. But the US and Europe have so much in common that their ties must not be severed. They just MUST not.
Putin’s plans are working. Russia defeats NATO not with bombs and guns but with troll armies and gullible American voters.
Unbelievable amount of pro-Russia bots on here. Look at the usernames. Noun + Noun + Random numbers. Dashes between each name. One person called “AdOriginal1084” and another called “AdCareless6020” both pushing anti-Ukraine and anti-NATO talking points. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
The us is a russian satellite state and should not be trusted
SO MANY trolls in this thread, not surprising
Nato is dead, time to make an European alliance
The rest of NATO needs to seriously ramp up funding. Fill the holes quickly.
