NATO guarantees are backed by collective defence treaty. These are not empty words - viz. 9/11.

Also, Europe backed US-led campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq, also under auspices of NATO. Not empty words.

Sure. But international commitments are still only as strong as the will to adhere to them.

For its own security the US needs friends in Europe - Trump can't change that. NATO guards the friendship.

Trump is subject to the constraints of reality, just like other mortals. As US prez he is going to discover that.
