Pentagon sends questionnaire to NATO allies probing loyalty to US policy
Documents obtained exclusively by Al Jazeera show the US Defense Department has sent NATO allies a questionnaire assessing their loyalty to Washington's policies. Full details of the questionnaire's content and recipients have not been made public.
Al Jazeera reports it has obtained exclusive access to documents showing the Pentagon, the US Department of Defense, has drafted and circulated a questionnaire among NATO allies. The stated purpose, according to the outlet, is to gauge how loyal these countries are to policies set by Washington.
The documents cited by Al Jazeera were obtained exclusively, indicating the Pentagon is seeking to compile an overview of allied positions on specific US policy matters. Publicly available information about the matter remains limited, and the source material does not specify which countries received the questionnaire, what questions it contained, or the official justification behind the effort.
The report comes amid broader scrutiny of relations between NATO member states and the US administration, though the source text does not provide further detail on the specific circumstances or motivations that may have prompted the Pentagon to conduct such a survey among allies.
Al Jazeera presents its report as exclusive, based on the documents it has obtained, but the full content of the questionnaire and the extent of its distribution are not yet known in detail. Additional information on the matter may emerge as the outlet or other sources provide further clarification.
