Abstrakt: The article discusses the main changes in US security policy after the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the USA and their impact on transatlantic relations. It offers the answers (tentatively) to three interlinked research questions: what are the main characteristics of current US security policy? How will the recent changes impact the US position internationally and its transatlantic leadership? What consequences will it generate for NATO’s European allies, and Poland in particular? These answers are based on an analysis of recent official statements and the actual actions of President Donald Trump, as well as key members of his administration, supplemented by the critical review of opinions on the matter presented in academic journals or think-tank reports and the press. The article also offers some recommendations on the Polish response to the changes introduced by Trump.
