And amid unease in Europe about a possible Donald Trump presidency, he will have to fend off concerns that he is unfit to be commander in chief not just of the United States but also of the free world.

“Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, NATO is more relevant today than at any time since the end of the Cold War.
“If things go well, it could help calm growing anxieties among Europeans about American leadership of the alliance, while also helping him appear presidential.
