Do we need a new Nato?

This Inquiry podcast episode examines the future of NATO, focusing on the impact of President Trump's policies. The discussion features four expert witnesses who analyze Article 5 of the NATO treaty, the role of the US in NATO, European responses to Trump's actions, and Russia's geopolitical goals. A key takeaway is the growing concern in Europe about its dependence on US military technology and the potential need for increased European defense spending and technological self-sufficiency. The experts highlight the tension between US interests and European security concerns, particularly regarding Russia's actions in Ukraine and the potential for further conflict. The podcast concludes by suggesting that a de facto restructuring of NATO is already underway, driven by the changing dynamics of US involvement.
