European leaders are considering reducing cooperation with the United States to save NATO, believing they need to prepare to fight without U.S. involvement. This desire has intensified since the conflict with Iran.
Infact verdict: Mixed (55/100).
The claims regarding European leaders discussing reduced cooperation with the United States and the belief that Europe needs to prepare to fight without U.S. involvement are supported by multiple sources. These sources indicate a shift in NATO dynamics due to U.S. military reductions and European defense considerations. However, the claim about intensified desires since the war with Iran lacks strong corroboration, with evidence suggesting strained relations but not a direct link to the Iran conflict. Overall, the claims reflect ongoing discussions and strategic shifts within NATO, but the specific impact of the Iran conflict is less clear.
