Impact of Project 2025 on European Partners

As far as I can see, Project 2025, spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation, proposes consolidating executive power in the U.S., which could significantly impact European partners. The plan suggests a potential reduction in U.S. commitment to NATO, compelling European countries to enhance their own defense capabilities and increase military spending. This shift could strain transatlantic relations as Europe adjusts to a diminished U.S. role in its security framework.

Economically, Project 2025’s policies could lead to reduced cooperation on climate change initiatives, affecting global climate goals. Politically, Europe might seek to strengthen ties both internally and with individual U.S. states to mitigate the effects of a more isolationist U.S. administration.

What do you think about this?

To be honest The destruction to my own homeland from Project 2025 is far to great for me to even care about how it will impact Europe.

@MethDozer I feel you, but I don't think this post was aimed an American audience 🙈

@Elessar fair enough but Imma answer anyway.

Also to be honest as an American I couldn't care any less if European nations paid more for NATO defense.

@MethDozer Increasing the expenditure isn't even the priority, if it gets wasted. Getting a unified European army should be. Problem is getting everyone on board.

The idea is quite popular here and in France, bit it needs at the very least Germany on board to kickstart. And I've been hearing "soon we'll have it" for decades..
