Politico reported that NATO countries have no plan in case the United States withdraws.

NATO member countries do not have a plan in case the United States withdraws from the military bloc. This was reported on December 10 by the newspaper Politico, citing diplomats from the military bloc.

The article states that despite the increasing tension in relations between the European Union and the United States, European diplomats interpret these signals as a shift in US priorities to the Asian and Arctic regions.

It is noted that "in anticipation of America's diminishing role, EU leaders are already testing the European security system in practice."

The newspaper also quoted an unnamed diplomat as saying that it is impossible to imagine NATO without the United States, as "this would contradict the very purpose of the military bloc."
