Jared Kushner’s European security plan isn’t convincing Europe

Jared Kushner’s push to reshape European security arrangements is meeting resistance in European capitals, which fear the U.S. effort could sideline allies and tilt toward Russia. The plan has raised concerns that key European governments may be excluded from decisions affecting the continent’s defense architecture. The initiative comes as Washington seeks to overhaul the post-Cold War security order, though the article does not specify funding levels or force commitments. European officials worry the approach could weaken collective deterrence and give Moscow greater influence over regional arrangements. What to watch next is whether European governments can secure a formal role in the negotiations and whether the plan gains concrete commitments before it is presented as a fait accompli.
