With the Pentagon launching a six-month review of forces stationed in Europe and Trump’s recent criticism of allies — especially after some nations refused to support his oil trade push — the future of the alliance hangs in the balance. Rutte, known for his ability to navigate Trump’s temperament, hopes to defuse the situation before the summit, even as Defense Secretary Hegseth’s recent comments in Brussels stoke further concern. The core of NATO — mutual defense — has only been activated once since 2001, raising questions about whether the 32-member alliance is ready for a new era of uncertainty.
