> Documents obtained exclusively by Al Jazeera show the Pentagon asking US NATO allies whether they support President Donald Trump’s vision for the alliance, publicly back US foreign policy priorities and are willing to ease restrictions on US access to bases and airspace. The questions appear intended to guide contacts during a six-month review of US forces in Europe.
