"We have lived in a fantasy created by the US security guarantee," said The Rt Hon Lord Mandelson, the British Ambassador to the United States, "complacent that a friendly heavyweight across the water would always be there when the going gets tough."

Mandelson said that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has served as a "brutal wake-up call" and that "European defense must step up" to guarantee its collective security. "I think President Trump is doing Europe a favor by confronting us with this reality," he said.

He was speaking at an Atlantic Council event at its headquarters in Washington, DC.
