Welcome to Issues in Japan.
The topic this time is Signs of Change in the U.S.-European Alliance Seen in the Ukraine Crisis.
I would like to share the contents of the insights of Mr. Tadae Takubo, Vice President, Japan Institute for National Fundamentals.

Regardless, observing the responses of the U.S. and major European countries, it seems that in the medium to long term, differences in the line of defense systems in the West will become apparent, and the Atlantic Alliance between the U.S. and Europe or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) itself may have to change.
Point one: Separate paths taken by Britain, France, and Germany.
France's President Emmanuel Macron has been particularly active in the Ukraine crisis.
At times, Macron has spoken of strengthening "European sovereignty".
