From the New York Times

Summary:

"President Donald Trump’s latest tantrums against NATO remind us that toddlers love repetition. Trump has threatened to pull out of the transatlantic alliance so many times — it’s become, well, a joke. He recently called America’s European allies “cowards” for refusing to race to his command and seize the Strait of Hormuz."

"At least three NATO allies have told Trump, in so many words, to take a flying leap...At least some good has come from Trump’s foot-stomping petulance. Europe has begun focusing on developing its own military defenses rather than leaning so heavily on U.S. power."
