The post World-War II order was firmly grounded in the steadfast alliance between the United States of America and the West, including central European countries. After the fall of Communism, this relationship was extended to the European states that were once locked behind the Iron Curtain. NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, was only one materialization of this bond. Gradually, however, the US American focus has shifted to the Pacific, to her neighbors – and opponents – on the other side of the globe. The cracks in the US-European alliance widened when a president declared NATO obsolete. It will be crucial for the future of the Trans-Atlantic Relations who will be holding the reigns in the White House in the next four years: Will the US retreat to isolationism, will NATO be weakened and therefore invite further military aggression or will the ally beyond the big pond remain the reliable partner as it has been for most of the years since the end of the War?
