Europe Faces Security Challenges as U.S. Rethinks NATO Role and Ukraine Support

President Trump signals a shift in U.S. foreign policy, prompting European leaders to accelerate defense plans and seek greater independence.

• President Trump voted against a UN resolution condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine, aligning with Russia and North Korea, a historic break from NATO allies.
• European leaders, including Germany's likely next chancellor Friedrich Merz, are calling for increased defense spending and reduced reliance on U.S. military support.
• Trump warned Ukraine's President Zelenskyy that U.S. military aid could be cut off, urging Ukraine to negotiate peace with Russia or risk losing support.
• Analysts estimate Europe would need an additional €250 billion annually to bolster its defense capabilities, including tanks, drones, and troops, to counter Russian threats without U.S. backing.
• British Prime Minister Keir Starmer sought U.S. security guarantees for potential European peacekeeping forces in Ukraine but received only vague assurances from Trump.
