In recent years, U.S. President Trump has repeatedly criticized NATO harshly. Since the outbreak of the U.S.-Iran conflict, he has made a series of extremely dissatisfied remarks towards NATO allies and threatened to consider withdrawing from NATO. As the U.S.-Iran conflict continues, this threat further undermines allies' confidence in the reliability of the U.S. strategy. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that European allies are accelerating the development of a NATO contingency plan to ensure Europe has autonomous defense capabilities, creating a "European version of NATO." On the 15th local time, Ian Bremmer, Chairman of the Eurasia Group, a U.S. political risk consulting firm, stated in an interview with U.S. media that the "European version of NATO" means that massive investments will no longer flow to the U.S. military-industrial complex.
