A reported “secret ultimatum” from Donald Trump to NATO allies has triggered alarm across Europe after the US moved to scale back key military assets, according to the Daily Mail. The report says Washington is reducing the availability of fighter jets, strategic bombers, and even nuclear submarines previously earmarked for NATO operations during a crisis.
The changes were allegedly communicated to alliance officials in Brussels, with European partners warned they will need to take on far more responsibility for regional defense. The move is being seen as part of Trump’s broader push for NATO countries to increase their own military spending and reduce reliance on US protection.
Officials reportedly fear the shift could weaken NATO’s rapid response capability at a time of rising tensions with Russia, even as Washington insists the restructuring is about burden-sharing, not withdrawal.
