Trump's election prompts allies to rethink defense strategies and self-reliance

thestar.com — November 8, 2024, 06:01 AM UTC

President-elect Donald Trump’s approach to international relations marks a shift from traditional U.S. leadership. European allies are now emphasizing self-reliance, with calls for new defense strategies independent of American support, reflecting concerns over Trump's unpredictability.

Trump's past criticisms of alliances have led to preparations among allies for a less engaged U.S. role. Defense chiefs from France and Germany have already scheduled talks to discuss the implications of his victory, while Israel is adjusting its military strategies.

Concerns are growing about Trump's potential policies regarding Ukraine and Taiwan. His past statements suggest a willingness to end conflicts quickly, which some fear could embolden adversaries like Russia and China. Allies are increasingly focused on strengthening their own defenses.
