Politika USA vůči NATO za prezidenta D. Trumpa: politický diskurz

This thesis concerns with the US-NATO policy in the first election period of Donald Trump. The goal of this thesis is to discover, whether the USA is still willing to help Europe if the need arises. The research question is connected to the mentioned goal: „Is there an actual possibility that the USA will abandon Europe in the terms of a military alliance? The method used to answer this question is Foucauldian discourse analysis because the necessary data can be discovered only through discourse and this method also enables the confrontation with reality. The US foreign policy under the Trump administration is used as a theoretical anchoring. It was found out that the USA is at the moment still willing to help Europe, but Donald Trump needs to see, that Europe is increasing its defense spending because that is the key topic for him. So currently, there is no threat of the USA abandoning Europe, but in the long run, it is possible, especially if there is no visible effort from Europe to focus more on its defense. The relation between Donald Trump and NATO was improving during his election period so if Europe keeps its focus and finances in this area, the chances are, that this will not change. The main contribution of this thesis is the discovery, that if European states of NATO keep increasing their defense spending, the USA will be here for them. They should take this finding into the account.
