European leaders are attending the NATO summit in Washington concerned about Donald Trump returning to power in the US and weakening NATO support. European governments are discussing ways to ensure NATO support, Western aid for Ukraine, and European security continue even if Trump wins and reduces US contributions. Some call this "Trump-proofing" NATO or "future-proofing" it against the rise of far-right governments. Under Trump, there are concerns he may pull the US out of NATO or stop collaborating in NATO missions.
