"NATO is broken, says Ivo Daalder, not mincing his words. The former US ambassador to the transatlantic alliance believes that tensions between Donald Trump and European allies over the Iran war have thrust NATO into the worst crisis in its history."
"Daalder says it is the combination of Trump's vitriol along with the fact that many European governments have now gone beyond just refusing to help fight Washington's war on Iran, with instances of denying Trump the right to use bases or refusing to grant airspace rights for offensive action."
NATO faces its most severe crisis, according to Ivo Daalder, due to tensions between Donald Trump and European allies regarding the Iran war. Daalder highlights that Trump's insults and threats to withdraw from NATO have exacerbated the situation. European nations have increasingly refused to support US military actions, denying Trump access to bases and airspace for offensive operations. This combination of US hostility and European resistance illustrates the significant weakness of NATO at this time.
