Trump’s main complaint is that European allies do not spend enough money on defense, but the situation has changed, the NATO Secretary General noted.
The United States will not leave NATO if Donald Trump becomes president again following the election results in this country. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said this at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Bloomberg reported yesterday.
The United States will remain a loyal and valuable ally because it is in the security interest of the United States to have more than 30 friends and allies… This is what China and Russia do not have, and what makes the United States safer and stronger. , said the NATO Secretary General.
According to Stoltenberg, Trump did not tell him during the meetings that the United States would never help Europe if it were suddenly attacked.
He recalled that Trump’s main complaint was that European allies were not spending enough on defense. But now Europe is increasing such costs, “so we have something to say about the distribution of the (financial – ed.) burden.”
The comments come as NATO officials, particularly in Europe, worry that Trump could return to the White House after Iowa voters gave him a clear victory in Monday’s Republican caucuses.
Earlier, Donald Trump admitted that he was blackmailing European leaders that the United States under his leadership would not defend NATO allies in the event of a Russian attack.
Let’s remember that in December 2023, both chambers of the US Congress adopted a decision that prohibits the American president at any time from announcing the country’s withdrawal from NATO without the consent of the legislators.
