The fears that emerged in the NATO member countries after the arrival of Donald Trump to the White House went from less to more as the tycoon, during his first days in Washington, was doing everything he had announced: cutting aid to Ukraine, despising NATO, threatening to leave her or the firm of infinity of laws that threatened against some of the basic principles.
However, the one that generates the most fear in all allied countries is, without a doubt, the US position regarding its position in NATO, which has several occasions been questioned and questioned by Trump. This data is very important since the US is a country that contributes almost 16% of the alliance budget, so its participation in it is indispensable.
But everything could be changing. And is that the German agency recently reported Reuters, Donald Trump would be machining a strategy to take control of NATO -at least the US would not leave and continue to contribute the established percentage -, in what would be interpreted by the rest as a minor evil.
Thus, the information of the German channel would go around the arrival of an American officer under the military command of NATO, something that would have already spoken with the general secretary of the Alliance, Mark Rutte.
This would mean a small – or great – relief for all Atlantist countries, who see how the possibility of the US to abandon the alliance and leave greatly diminished to the rest of the countries, has been reduced by the moment.
Despite this, from the US they warn that Trump’s position is not a lantern, and although now, NATO is being raised with a person of its maximum confidence, the future for the US could be far from Europe, something that has already been suggested in recent months, and could lead to the withdrawal of up to 80,000 US troops in Europe in addition to the US much more focused on Asia (especially Taiwan and especially Taiwan and China), that in Europe.
