Although the Biden Administration is controlled by liberal-globalists who believe that the US should continue letting the EU freeload off of it as a reward for their ideological alignment, military-strategic imperatives vis-a-vis China have already prompted the Pentagon to partially implement Trump's plan.
Politico published a piece on Tuesday about how "Trump's Plan for NATO Is Emerging", which cites some on-the-record and unnamed sources to describe his approach towards the bloc if he's re-elected.
The gist is that the US would pull funding from non-essential NATO activities that have nothing to do with defending the bloc from a Russian attack, which Maitra believes isn't realistic anyhow owing to a lack of will and capability, thus enabling it to return to its core mission and reduce bureaucratic bloat.
As regards Politico's piece, which builds upon Maitra's policy brief in the ways that were just explained, Trump 2.0 would also reportedly halt NATO expansion while entertaining the idea of freezing the NATO-Russian proxy war along the Line of Contact.
While the outcome of their struggle remains unclear since a lot will depend on the US' presidential election, the fact of the matter is that the Biden Administration has still presided over the partial implementation of Trump's plan as was already explained.
If the liberal-globalists' Democrat proxies remain in the White House, then Maitra's vision will likely remain only partially implemented since it's unlikely that the US would end the era of European freeloading due to that ruling clique's ideological interests.
If Trump returns then everyone should expect that his plans will be more comprehensively implemented even if they might still ultimately fall somewhat short of their maximalist goals for presently unforeseeable reasons.
