It isn't credible now. It likely won't exist at all in 4 years. Unless it cedes even more decision making authority to the US and becomes even more of a puppet.

The main point I was making is that Trump is almost certainly going to pull the US out of NATO altogether.

France knows this, that's why it wasn't in NATO for most its history. This only changed when one of our president needed war crime buddies
