Europe to boot US out of NATO?

Donald Trump's announcement of the start of negotiations on Ukraine with Putin in a phone call sent shockwaves through European capitals. Any settlement in Ukraine will have ramifications for Europe's own security. France, Germany and Spain insisted that any peace deal in Ukraine could not be achieved without the involvement of European partners.

US defense chief, Hegseth, said it was Europe's responsibility to stop the Russian "war machine". Ukraine's dream of returning to its pre-2014 borders was an "illusionary goal" – and that Kyiv's wish for NATO membership was "not realistic".

This is payback time for disrespecting and ripping off the USA.

Nato would lose half its funding. They would need to pay for their own security

@Patriot96 American security was pretty much dependent on Europe's security. That's why you spent trillions fighting the Cold War. I'd expect a military man to understand that.

@Richard65 European countries tout there free Healthcare and other socialistic programs because US was paying for their security. Time for them to start paying

@Patriot96 so, why do you have an American military base on the soil of every NATO member? You have eleven military bases in the UK alone. You think those are to protect the UK for the sake of the UK population? You think America would finance eleven military bases here if there was nothing in it for you?
