【 摘 要 】

Donald Trump’s election and presidency have both astonished the world in multiple ways, including in respect to American foreign and security policy for Europe. Averse to multilateral agreements and unhappy with the cost distribution in North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Trump made the transatlantic relations a resistance test to a long living liberal international order. This paper identifies some friction points among the allies, such as doubts about the future of NATO and the US withdrawal from two relevant security treaties: Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) and Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). It identifies the role of people inside or linked to Trump administration in shaking European institutions. The circumstantial paradox is that by trying to weaken European Union capabilities and encouraging national policies in the regional bloc, Trump administration risks the alliance that has been one of the pillars of American post-1945 global hegemony.
