Merz Pushes Back as Trump Threatens NATO's Foundation

US troop drawdown in Europe won’t weaken NATO, says Rutte. Members must step up national defense to maintain deterrence strength and collective readiness. This shift necessitates coordinated investment, joint training and modernization to keep the alliance resilient and prepared for emerging challenges. #NATO #Defense #Transatlantic

... The alliance’s guarantee of the territorial integrity of its member states (initially 12, now 32) was underpinned by its founding commitments to:

- Freedom
- Democracy
- Rule of law

That era has now passed. Some of the #transatlantic bridges demolished by #Trump’s ruinous presidency can doubtless be patched up after his departure. But the bond of #trust on which the alliance rested has been irrevocably broken.

An internal Pentagon document leaked on April 24, 2026, reveals that the United States considered punishing NATO allies for refusing to support the American military campaign against Iran. Among the options: suspending Spain's NATO membership and reviewing US support for British sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.

NATO responded immediately. The Secretary General stated that the Washington Treaty contains no provision for expelling members. Allies can leave voluntarily but cannot be removed by another member's decision, even by the United States. Spain has been a NATO member since 1982.

The British reaction was restrained but firm. Downing Street stated that the Falkland Islands are a British overseas territory and this is not a matter for any negotiation, regardless of the state of transatlantic relations. A Falklands veteran told the BBC that the news made him feel his sacrifice was made in vain.

The leak is not an impulsive move. It reflects a systematic effort to transform NATO from a collective security alliance into a transactional structure where support is exchanged for concessions. The alliance has functioned for 77 years on the principle that an attack on one is an attack on all. Article 5 never obligated members to join offensive operations initiated by another member.

This matters for Ukraine and the EU. If US support for allies is conditional and transactional, strategic calculations must account for this. Berlin and Paris are already discussing independent European nuclear deterrence. Baltic states have faced delays in American weapons shipments redirected to the Persian Gulf.

The question is not whether Spain will be suspended. The question is how many times the US can act this way before allies begin seeking alternatives.

The #US and the #EU are pushing for #asylum and #deportation procedures to be outsourced (Safe Third Country Agreements, return hubs etc.). Two #transatlantic #online #exchanges on May 12 and 19 to share information about current trends and counterstrategies. The exchange will bring together #NGO, activists and #research from the US, Latin #America, #Europe and #Africa. Register here (https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/SXfmIKpHRE-4SY6cXeWZvg). They will provide a detailed program before the event. Info: fgutierrez at cejil.org

The midterms will shape the future of transatlantic cooperation. Europe needs a reliable partner again — not chaos and unpredictability. Turning Trump into a lame duck must be the goal this November. #Midterms #USA #Europe #Transatlantic #Democracy #Politics #Elections

More Americans are applying for UK citizenship — and the numbers are climbing fast. When people start looking for a different passport, it usually says something about the political climate at home. #UK #USA #Citizenship #Migration #Politics #Transatlantic

Denmark says “thank you” to the U.S. regime — and kindly offers two hospital ships in return. Apparently, they’re equipped for presidential “treatment.” Sometimes diplomacy needs… medical support. #Denmark #USA #Greenland #Transatlantic #Democracy #Trump

Reciprocity? If Americans can live freely in parts of Europe, shouldn’t Europeans expect fair access too? Equal treatment shouldn’t stop at the border. #Reciprocity #Transatlantic #Fairness #VisaPolicy #EU #USA #Equality

Dear American friends, could you please clear the stage? The clown act is blocking the view of democracy. We’d really like to see the institutions again. #Democracy #RuleOfLaw #CivicValues #Transatlantic

The numbers speak for themselves. Across Western Europe, overwhelming majorities view Trump unfavorably. Transatlantic partnership can’t be built on division and distrust. Respect matters. Stability matters. Democracy matters. #Europe #Transatlantic #Democracy #PublicOpinion #GlobalPolitics #USA

Europe doesn’t need confrontation — but it does demand respect. Partnership is not domination. Cooperation is not chaos. If we share the same table, don’t smash the porcelain. #Europe #Transatlantic #Respect #Democracy #Allies #GlobalPolitics

Trump trashes Europe. Europe funds NATO.
Trump mocks Denmark. Denmark hosts US bases.
At what point do allies stop rewarding contempt?

At #Davos, European allies voiced alarm as the #UK refused to join Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace,” citing fears it would normalise #Putin and undermine bodies like the #UN and #G7. Tensions were compounded by a vague US–#Greenland agreement seen as infringing #Denmark’s sovereignty. Together, the events point to a deeper, long-term fracture in the #Transatlantic alliance, driven by declining trust in US leadership.

Antonio Costa @eucopresident said the #EU is ready to defend itself against coercion, warning U.S. tariff threats would undermine #transatlantic ties and violate existing trade agreements. #Greenland http://xhtxs.cn/9BZ

This chart matters. Even without the U.S., NATO has far greater Arctic and winter warfare capacity. The idea that Europe and its partners are helpless is a myth. Deterrence works best when it’s based on reality, not bluster or intimidation. #NATO #Europe #ArcticSecurity #Transatlantic #FactsMatter

It must be absolutely clear to the U.S. leadership that a war against Europe would have serious consequences. Dear Americans: don’t let it come to this—stop the escalation and hold those in power accountable through democratic means. #Democracy #USA #Europe #War #Transatlantic

World’s Largest #Cargo #Sailboat Completes Historic First #Atlantic Crossing
#NeolinerOrigin completed first #transatlantic voyage on 30 October despite damage to one of its #sails during the journey. The 136-m-long vessel had to rely partly on its auxiliary motor and its remaining sail after the aft sail was damaged in a storm shortly after departure... #Neoline, the company behind the project, said the damage reduced the vessel's ability to perform fully on wind power.
