European leaders are concerned about the possible weakening of the US role as a guarantor of the continent's security.
US-EU talks on providing security guarantees to Ukraine have become “awkward.”
Politico reports, citing a high-ranking defense official from one of the European countries.
As the publication notes, the new US administration's worsening relations with the EU are forcing European leaders to consider a future in which Washington will no longer be the continent's primary guarantor of security, and Europe will have to organize its own defense as quickly as possible.
“The uncertainty” about how the United States would react if a European country were attacked is “too high,” the official said.
