Can NATO hold defense together without strong U.S. backing? | Michael R. Carpenter

As doubts grow over America’s long‑term commitment to NATO, World News Tonight examines whether the transatlantic alliance can still rely on Washington at a time of escalating tension with Russia.

Tune in as Senior Fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Michael Carpenter, and TVP World’s Don Arleth dive into the concerns raised by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, analyzing President Donald Trump’s rhetoric on Article Five, relations with Moscow, and the future of collective defense.

As Carpenter pointed out, the current U.S. administration wants “to end the war with Ukraine on terms that are favorable to Russia so that the United States can reset relations and lift sanctions.” But can such a peace come to pass now that Europe is more determined than ever not to let Ukraine fail? And would the Ukrainians themselves, locked in an existential struggle for survival with Putin’s aggressive empire, accept such unfavorable terms?

We try to answer that and other key questions, including: How are Europeans weighing greater responsibility for their own defense, and why treating NATO as a transactional alliance could be dangerous for the very existence of the pact?

With Russia testing Western resolve and unconventional threats increasing across Europe, the discussion highlights the stakes for NATO’s credibility – and its survival.
