Trump’s attacks force Europe to speed up post-America defense plans

Europeans provide up to 60 percent of capabilities in some domains, said Oana Lungescu, a former NATO spokesperson who is now a fellow at the Royal United Services Institute think tank. But in others — such as intelligence, heavy airlift and deep strikes — the United States typically provides an outsized share. "It would be very hard for Europeans to fill some of those capability gaps, certainly within a year or two,” Lungescu said.
