Kroenig quoted in the Wall Street Journal on Europe’s reaction to President Trump’s foreign policy

On March 7, Matthew Kroenig, vice president and senior director of the Scowcroft Center, was quoted in the Wall Street Journal on European leaders “overreacting” to US President Donald Trump’s foreign policy. He argues that, on balance, the NATO alliance “emerged stronger” at the end of the first Trump administration.   

If six to 18 months from now, our NATO allies are spending more and there is a ceasefire in Ukraine, I would argue that we’d be in a better place than today.
