| Summary/Abstract |
During his four years in office, President Trump repeatedly called on NATO allies to increase their defense spending, and threatened to leave the alliance if the situation did not improve. This article examines how three long standing members – Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany – responded to the challenge of the Trump presidency. It will reveal that all three did increase spending, modestly in the cases of Canada and the United Kingdom, more substantively for Germany. While the Trump presidency is now over, his insults and threats have done lasting damage, and thus whether NATO survives is increasingly an open question.

| Summary/Abstract |
Burden sharing has long been a goal of NATO. This article examines how three major alliance members—Canada, the UK, and Germany—are currently approaching defense issues, and the contributions they are making to the larger Western defense effort. It will reveal that Canada and Germany continue to spend little on defense, and seem broadly content to watch their military forces gradually weaken. On the contrary, however, the UK remains a major defense spender, although its fiscal situation poses a continuing challenge. For NATO to survive, the US must insist that it expects all alliance members to contribute more equitably.
