How has US policy towards NATO changed over the last 30 years and what are its future prospects set against the backdrop of the ongoing war in Ukraine, a rising China, an EU advocating for more 'strategic autonomy', and the possible return of Donald Trump to the White House in 2025? This presentation will examine the evolution of US policy on NATO from the end of the Cold War to the present. It will also discuss many of the contemporary policy debates and future challenges associated with this relationship.
