However, the dominant issue this year was US-Europe relations following the victory of Donald Trump in America’s presidential elections.
NATO allies had an opportunity to weigh up the new Trump administration.
US Vice-President Mike Pence delivered a message in Munich from the new US president: “Today on behalf of President Trump I bring you this assurance: the United States of America strongly supports NATO and will be unwavering in our commitment to this transatlantic alliance.”
