wPolityce predicts that under a Trump presidency there will be more pressure on Europe to up its defence spending:
“Irrespective of the all the strategic and political assessments, Europe is simply not in a position to increase its defence spending by a large amount. If all the Nato countries excluding the United States were to boost their defence spending to three percent of the GDP, this would mean an increase of around 200 billion dollars. … This explains why the elites in the Western capitals are so afraid of a potential victory for Trump. The option of ‘free-riding’ on security issues is running out and they will either have to radically reorient their spending, which few are prepared to do, or there will be a fundamental change in transatlantic relations.”
