Abstract: The concern on the part of European members of NATO for the possibility of the United States to leave NATO or to be less committed to article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, a hot topic since Donal Trump assumed office in January 2017, emerged as a result of Trump`s strongly voiced dissatisfaction with what he perceived to be an unfair burden-sharing within NATO. His perspective on how the NATO burden-sharing has to be balanced triggered critical reactions of various European members of NATO and the disagreement on this issue could seriously affect the transatlantic relations. Therefore, this paper analysis and reconstructs Trump`s view on NATO burden-sharing and identifies and classifies some of the most significant criticism of it by European members of NATO. The resulting typology of the main points of disagreement is further used in this paper for considering the position of Romania on NATO burden-sharing as perceived by Donald Trump.
