NATO's eastern members brace for US disengagement
NATO's eastern Baltic members (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) are bracing for potential US disengagement from the alliance under President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly questioned NATO's value. To prepare, they have positioned themselves as 'model allies' by supporting US actions against Iran, increasing defense spending above NATO targets, expanding national guard forces, and pushing for larger allied military contingents in their territories to maintain deterrence against Russia.
