Donald Trump’s anger at NATO allies for refusing to join the war against Iran has so far achieved one thing: uniting them against him.

Axar.az informs, citing Politico, that in private, over intimate dinners, and on the sidelines of meetings in Brussels and elsewhere, European leaders and officials are discussing how to handle the U.S. president’s threats to quit NATO and what they would do if he followed through.

They now share the grim view that Trump's increasingly angry attacks on Britain, Spain, France and others confirm a fundamental breach in the transatlantic alliance. And while they aren't yet sure what the final answer should be, some countries are already looking to expand their defense and security arrangements to work around a broken NATO.

“NATO is paralyzed — they can’t even have meetings,” said one European diplomat, like others granted anonymity to speak freely.

EU official added that Europe must urgently bolster its own defenses:

“We can’t wait for it to be completely dead.”
