“Trump will take NATO to the limit. He will press until they leave him.” Santiago Armesilla
Santiago Armesilla, director of the Beatriz Galindo Institute – La Latina, keeps “Trump will take NATO to the limit. He will press until they leave him.” He affirms that his goal is to achieve what he wants through the hard hand, and this is part of a broader geopolitical and geoeconomic strategy. And, he argues that the question is to what extent the United States allies can resist these pressures.
José Manjón, writer and analyst at the Spanish Institute of Geopolitics, points out that “Trump will not allow anyone to be calm while he is president of the United States” He argues that Europe faces a big problem with its strategic dependence on the United States, especially in military issues. He believes that for European leaders, the transatlantic relationship is sacred, but mental conditioning towards that dependence limits their maneuvering capacity.
Enrique Navarro Gil, Aerospace and Defense consultant, defends that “Trump takes advantage of the fact that Europe is dependent on its nuclear umbrella,” because Trump has never been an ally convinced of NATO. His approach to weakening his allies and his tariff policy could lead him to ruin.
