The U.S. administration has proposed scaling back its military commitments to NATO while Europe continues to focus on collective defense under the alliance umbrella. This review involves a questionnaire sent to NATO members regarding their alignment with U.S. foreign policy. The questions concern defense spending, cooperation with U.S. defense industry, and commitments to allied forces.
