During his presidency, Trump repeatedly criticized allies for low defense spending and low contributions to NATO.
Donald Trump has admitted that he is blackmailing European leaders that the United States under his leadership will not defend NATO allies in the event of a Russian attack. He announced this on Monday, October 30, at a campaign rally in Iowa.
He explained that in his opinion, most member countries of the alliance contribute too little to NATO and generally spend too little on defense needs, shifting the main burden to the United States.
He recalled how, as president, he told his European partners that he would not protect them from an attack by the Russian Federation and would not help them financially.
“I remember how the leader of one of the EU countries asked: “Tell me, if Russia attacked my country, wouldn’t you be there?” That’s right, I mean, I won’t protect you and I won’t will give. money,” Trump said.
Remember that Trump and his Trump Organization have been found guilty of fraud.
