Support for NATO falling among Americans, new survey shows

The Pew Research Center published a report showing that support for the alliance is falling in key nations including the U.S., Germany, and France.

NATO has enjoyed bipartisan support in the U.S. for 70 years, but Trump's presidency has exposed rifts within the organization."I worry that in a second Trump term, maybe we would see some additional damage to these core tenets that U.S. foreign policy," said Smith.for being dismissive of the alliance, describing the accord as obsolete.

"Trump has taken at least some American doubts about the utility and value of American engagement in the world and put that all on steroids," she added."What you're seeing in the survey is that the sands are shifting."the alliance says . But the Pew report shows that a median of 50 percent of NATO respondents do not support their nation honoring the commitment . Thirty-eight percent said their country should.

Sixty percent of all those surveyed still believed that the U.S. would protect alliance members against Russian attack.that this element of the report was"heartening" and showed continued U.S. leadership in the alliance, irrespective of what he called a"schizophrenic" Trumpian approach to the bloc.
