Since Sunday and Donald Trump's new threat regarding NATO, the question has resurfaced within European chancelleries: is the Atlantic alliance still reliable?
The French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Stéphane Séjourné, pleaded Monday for the creation of a “second European life insurance”, “not in substitution, not against NATO but in addition” to this organization.
After three years of Biden's presidency, which saw NATO regain its splendor and strengthened unity between the allies, Donald Trump cast a cold shoulder on Sunday.
The ultra-conservative billionaire suggested that - if he were elected president - he would not hire the American army to defend a member state attacked by Russia, if he believes that the latter does not contribute enough to the financing of the alliance.
An outing that calls into question the principle of solidarity that governs the organization.
