My impression is the US has pretty consistently tried to dissuade the EU from developing any kind of capable military organisation and to instead do it as part of NATO.
Although I have to assume that with Trump as president for a second time a lot of people in europe are going to have to worry that the US can't be relied on in the way it could in the past so I think you might get your wish.
Where that leaves NATO afterwards, I don't know.
