Jean Monnet, one of the founding fathers of the European Union, predicted that the continent’s union would develop through crises. “I’ve always thought that Europe would be made in crises, and what would be the sum of the solutions we would bring to these crises,” he famously said.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s foreign-policy revolution seems to have pushed the EU precisely toward a crisis from which it could emerge stronger and more integrated. The U.S. administration’s sharp turn away from Ukraine and toward Russia, coupled with the specter of Washington’s disengagement from NATO, has sent Europe into a frenzy of rearmament—and a scramble to finance it.
