transatlantic alliance

Europe-America security pact

A transatlantic alliance is a political, military, or economic partnership between countries on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean—typically between the United States and European nations.

The term most often refers to NATO and the broader security relationship that emerged after World War II: The transatlantic alliance has been tested by disagreements over defense spending.
