Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

I will move on to our representatives from Europe and deal with the issue of protection of the European borders. We have had support from the United States. That seems to be changing now. Do we have any idea as to the involvement of the United States now from a European context? How reliant are we? Is this the reason we now need to make sure member states are adequately equipped if there is a total withdrawal by the United States from any involvement in European defence?
