That being said, losing trust in the US as a security provider is not the same as gaining trust in the EU/European allies. There Europeans need to step up together, with Poland a key part of it.

The U.S. wants to reshuffle commanders of several top NATO command centers, ceding control of 2 while taking over 1.

It’s part of a push by Trump to make Europeans shoulder more responsibility as doubts swirl over U.S. commitment to NATO.

"Europe needs independent European infrastructure now—especially home-grown social networks that preserve a level playing field for information, safeguard media freedom and guarantee genuine freedom of speech, including the right to access facts instead of being fed lies and propaganda"

"European democracy faces a coordinated assault. From the East, Putin is unleashing unprecedented propaganda campaigns that sway elections and erode pro-Ukraine majorities in the European Council. From the West, US Pres. Donald Trump threatens retaliatory tariffs if Europe enforces its own rules."

As long as 80 percent of European digital products and services originate in the United States, blackmail will thrive, writes Alexandra Geese.
