NATO ambassador says Trump ‘reevaluating’ US involvement in alliance

The U.S. ambassador to NATO said Wednesday that President Trump is "reevaluating" American involvement in the military alliance, according to ambassador Matt Whitaker in comments to Newsmax. Whitaker indicated the review extends beyond NATO to other aspects of U.S. foreign policy under the current administration. The statement raises questions about the future of a cornerstone of American defense strategy and trans-Atlantic security that has existed for over seven decades. Trump has long criticized NATO members for what he views as inadequate defense spending and an unequal burden-sharing arrangement. Any significant shift in U.S. commitment to the alliance would represent a major realignment in global security arrangements and could reshape relationships with European partners.
