President Donald Trump warned NATO allies on Thursday that if they don’t pay up, the U.S. won’t come to their defense if they’re attacked.
The president, since his first term, has pushed for other members of the alliance to spend 5% of their gross domestic product on defense.
Now he’s threatening to change U.S. policy when it comes to NATO’s Article Five – which states if one member is attacked, all countries in the alliance must respond – if they don’t pony up.
VERY INTERESTING
Trump says he will NOT protect NATO members if they are not paying their fair share.
He then points out that the US do NOT benefit from NATO!
“Do you think they’re gonna come and protect us? Hmmmm. They’re supposed to. I’m not so sure.”
