Yes, Europe got assurances from three cabinet members of the Trump administration-Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, and Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly-that the United States still stands by NATO. But we will look back on it as the moment in which we fundamentally reassessed not just the division of our responsibilities, but the reliability of our allies. Not a divorce moment, nor even a parting of the ways.
But it should be clear that the February 2017 meeting was a watershed moment for the family, and for the alliance. In this at least, last weekend’s conference was no different than usual.
