Trump Considers Limiting US Commitment to NATO Based on Defense Spending; France to Host Talks on Ukraine Peace Deal

President Trump is considering changes to the US involvement in NATO, potentially conditioning defense of member states on their defense spending, according to multiple officials. Under this policy, the US might not defend a NATO member if it fails to meet a specific defense spending threshold. Trump has repeatedly criticized NATO nations for not meeting the 2% of GDP defense spending target. In related news, France will host talks on March 11 with military chiefs of staff whose nations are ready to offer Ukraine military support after any peace deal ending the war with Russia. This follows President Macron's statement that European troops could be sent to Ukraine to ensure a peace deal was observed.
