- Summary:
- The second Trump administration has signaled that it plans further changes to U.S. policy toward Europe, including withdrawing some military forces from the region. But the administration has not settled on an overarching strategy. As it weighs options, the United States should consider many factors, including how to prioritize threats across theaters and how policy changes would influence the behavior of Russia and China. One key dimension of this broader calculation--and the focus of this report--is how NATO allies might respond. Three grand strategies appear to be influencing the administration: Global Primacy, Prioritize Asia, and Prioritize the Western Hemisphere. Each strategy has different implications for U.S. commitment to NATO allies, military posture in Europe, economic relations with NATO allies, and policy toward Russia. Drawing on existing international relations literature and RAND research on the effects of U.S. retrenchment during the Cold War, the authors offer a preliminary assessment of how alternative policies might affect European allies' alignment with the United States, defense spending, and security cooperation with each other.
