A former NATO official has called on European nations to develop a contingency “Plan B.” The appeal comes amid concerns that the United States is reducing its security commitments. The official warned that a shift in U.S. policy could leave gaps in collective defense. European leaders are urged to consider alternative arrangements to safeguard regional stability. The statement highlights growing uncertainty about transatlantic security cooperation. NATO has not publicly addressed the alleged wavering of U.S. commitment. Policy makers in Europe are expected to evaluate the implications for defense planning. The call for a backup strategy may shape future diplomatic and military discussions.
