Fear of a halt to US military support for Ukraine

During the American presidential campaign, Donald Trump increased threats of disengagement from the Atlantic Alliance, of which the United States is the main contributor. Western officials also fear a slowdown, or even a halt, in American military support for Ukraine while Donald Trump has repeatedly denounced the billions spent by his country to help kyiv, promising to end the war in 24 hours. “His leadership will once again be a key element in keeping our Alliance strong. I look forward to working with him again to advance peace by strengthening NATO.”commented Mark Rutte after the election of the Republican candidate.

NATO claims to have partly responded to the challenges launched by Donald Trump. She has taken over the coordination of military aid to Ukraine, until then in the hands of the Americans, and, above all, she regularly highlights the budgetary efforts of European countries, accused by the billionaire of being “bad payers”.
