Trump’s NATO-bashing casts shadow over U.S. pledge to defend allies

President Trump's vocal criticism of NATO and questioning its relevance has raised alarms among member countries about the U.S. commitment to mutual defense, specifically under Article 5. This skepticism comes at a critical time as global security dynamics shift, making the alliance's cohesion more important than ever. The implications could lead to a reevaluation of defense strategies among NATO allies, potentially straining transatlantic relations and impacting global security arrangements.
