Pentagon Quizzes NATO Allies on Political Loyalty and U.S. Policy Alignment

The Pentagon has issued a questionnaire to NATO allies, probing their adherence to President Trump's vision for the transatlantic alliance and their alignment with U.S. foreign policy priorities. The three-page document, titled "Questions for NATO Allies & Other Key Stakeholders," asks if allies have been "publicly supportive of US foreign policy priorities" and if they have shown alignment with the U.S. approach to be "strong, clear, and quiet." It also inquires about their endorsement of the Trump administration's "NATO 3.0" concept, which advocates for European allies to assume greater responsibility for their defense with reduced U.S. support. The questionnaire further addresses restrictions placed by allies on U.S. access to bases and military flights, an issue that has caused friction during the U.S.-Israel war on Iran.
