Donald Trump has made it clear he doesn’t want to support Europe like previous administrations. Europe is now grappling with how best to maintain its own defenses.

The European Union’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, said on Wednesday Europe needs to play a bigger role in NATO after increasing tensions with the US since the return of Donald Trump to the White House.

Trump has “shaken the transatlantic relationship to its foundation,” Kallas told the European Defense Agency’s annual conference.

While Europe had sought to stay on Trump’s good side in the hope of maintaining US support for Ukraine, Trump’s threats to take Greenland from NATO ally Denmark sparked a change in tone from European leaders.

    We should make NNATO - Northern North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

    Most of Europe is more northern than Washington and NYC.
