Why does Trump's view matter?

Donald Trump's stance on European security challenges decades of US foreign policy. Since the formation of NATO in 1949, the US has been the cornerstone of Europe's collective defence, providing significant military and financial backing. His comments signal a potential shift away from this commitment, forcing Europe to reconsider its own security arrangements.
