For decades, the alliance has rested on the assumption that Washington would always be there, no matter how bitter the arguments. By calling NATO a \u201cpaper tiger\u201d and accusing Britain and France of freeloading or cowardice, Trump is turning that assumption into a question mark.<\/p>\n<p>His attacks cut especially deep because they come amid a brutal conflict with Iran, when unity would normally be the West\u2019s greatest asset. Instead, he is publicly humiliating partners, mocking Britain\u2019s navy, and accusing France of blocking vital support to Israel. Whether this is hard\u2011ball negotiation or a genuine desire to walk away, the damage is real: trust is eroding, and adversaries are watching. NATO may survive, but it will not emerge unchanged.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump\u2019s threat to pull the United States out of NATO doesn\u2019t just rattle diplomats; it shakes the foundation of the entire post\u2011war order.
