BRUSSELS - NATO is expected to ask a group of “wise persons” to help reform the alliance after U.S. President Donald Trump questioned its relevance and French President Emmanuel Macron said it was dying.
Washington’s allies in Europe and Canada are uncertain what to expect from Trump after he criticized Germany at a NATO summit in July 2018 and mulled quitting the alliance before praising it and taking credit for promised reforms. To address the concerns about NATO’s future, the summit is likely to adopt a Franco-German proposal to create a group of respected figures under alliance Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, diplomats said.
The aim is to secure a “re-balanced transatlantic alliance,” the diplomat said, with Europe recognizing Washington is carrying too much weight. Leaders are also set to meet a U.S. demand that European allies have more NATO battalions, ships and planes ready for combat as deterrence against a potential Russian attack.“Of course no-one knows what Trump will say,” said a senior European NATO diplomat. “But now we don’t know what Macron or Erdogan will say either.”
NATO is now under pressure to help solve some of the world’s most intractable crises and Washington has pushed it to consider its position on China, a growing military power.
