US president considers blocking members of military alliance from decision-making unless 5 per cent spending target hit
Donald Trump is considering a shake-up of Nato designed to punish members who do not meet his funding demands.
The US president is examining a “pay-to-play model” that could block allies from decision-making, including when the bloc goes to war.
It is one of several ideas Mr Trump is weighing up after allies rejected his demand to send warships to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Sources close to the president said he was also considering pulling US troops out of Germany – a move that he has considered since returning to office last year.
I agree NATO nations have used the US as a sucker and that includes Canada’s failure to pull it’s weight.
He should not have demanded that NATO members join in the war against Iran.
Even though the world will benefit from the defeat of Iran’s Mullah regime Trump can’t expect assistance on demand for a war NATO states are simply unwilling and incapable of fighting especially those harboring significant Muslim 5th Columns. France and England are barely able to control their own streets.
NATO is a paper tiger, a drain on US resources and its resentful anti-American members dubious allies making withdrawal a reasonable response.
Maybe a slap in the face is the right approach, maybe not regardless there’s gonna be a lot of hurt feelings over this!
