Former NATO Official Calls for Europe to Draft ‘Plan B’ Amid Uncertain US Security Commitment

A former NATO official has warned European leaders about shifting US security guarantees. The official says Washington’s commitment to European defense is becoming less reliable. He urges EU countries to develop a contingency “Plan B” for their collective security. The call comes amid growing concerns over transatlantic ties and strategic stability. Europe is expected to assess alternative defense arrangements and regional cooperation. The warning highlights potential gaps if US policy continues to fluctuate. Policymakers may consider bolstering NATO’s European pillar or independent capabilities. Observers will watch how EU governments respond to the suggestion in upcoming defense reviews.
