US Initiates Review of NATO Strategy in Europe, Urging Greater European Defense Responsibility

The United States Pentagon has commenced a review of NATO's strategy on the European front, with the stated goal of accelerating Europe's assumption of primary responsibility for its conventional defense. This initiative is part of the "NATO 3.0" concept, which aims for a stronger, more equitable, and sustainable alliance. Amid strained transatlantic relations, European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, are pushing for greater European strategic autonomy and planning to mobilize €800 billion by 2030 for defense industrial base development.
