In his second term, President Trump has continued his criticism of NATO and European allies’ defense efforts while the United States pursues a reset with Russia—the main threat to European security. How will the U.S. defense presence in Europe change, and what reforms are under consideration for the U.S. command structure that might affect the relationship with NATO and Europe? Former U.S. Ambassador to NATO Julianne Smith joins this episode of The Zeitgeist to discuss U.S. security engagement with Europe, potential changes to the transatlantic architecture, and how those changes will impact deterrence and peace in Europe.
