🔥🚨BREAKING: TRUMP WARNS EUROPE DEFEND YOURSELVES, WE’RE BUSY ELSEWHERE 🇺🇸🇪🇺💥⚡
In a strong message delivered in Brussels, Elbridge Colby, U.S. Under Secretary of Defense, told NATO allies that America has bigger global priorities right now — and Europe needs to step up its own defense.
Officials say this is “not abandoning NATO,” but the message feels clear: if there is a two-front crisis, especially involving Russia, European countries may need to handle more of the burden themselves. The era of depending heavily on U.S. military power could be ending.
President Donald Trump has long criticized NATO members for not spending enough on defense. Now he is reportedly pushing for 5% of GDP on defense, far above the current 2% target. That would be a dramatic shift and a huge financial commitment for European nations.
Experts say this reflects a bigger U.S. strategy shift — focusing more on Asia and China, while expecting Europe to take primary responsibility for its own security. If this change becomes permanent, it could reshape NATO’s future and alter the balance of power in Europe.
One thing is clear: the “free ride” narrative is over. The pressure is on, and Europe must decide how ready it truly is. 🌍⚔️⚡
