LOL, Politico thinks this is an attack story. They wouldn’t put this out if they didn’t think it would hurt Trump. It just makes me like him more.
Good. Let the other countries pay for their own military and protection. We pay for almost EVERYTHING.
Just like the UN. Kick the UN OUT of the US.
If the terms of the treaty are violated (members not fully funding it), a President can move to leave it.
You beat me to it. I was going to say the exact same thing.
Before we settle the Kosovo question?
“...if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you, and by the way NATO is dead, and we will leave, ...”
If only it were true !
My guess this is “Russian bounties in Afghanistan” type nonsense that the Deep Staters periodically leak to their @sshole cronies in the media.
All BS. They are all in to stop Trump. Don’t believe a word of this crap.
Or you could say, we will leave NATO and then NATO is dead. Like the UN, we financially support 80-90% of it. Time for the kids to go out and make their own way.
Yep, fake news.
One not having heard of something does not invalidate that something may have been said / reported. The Blitz article referenced Politico EU which reported:
" 'You need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you," Trump told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020, according to French European Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was also present at a meeting at the World Economic Forum in Davos. 'By the way, NATO is dead, and we will leave, we will quit NATO,' Trump also said, according to Breton. 'And he added, ‘and by the way, you owe me $400 billion, because you didn't pay, you Germans, what you had to pay for defense,'' Breton said about the tense meeting, where the EU's then-trade chief Phil Hogan was also present."Thus, "according to French European Commissioner Thierry Breton" identifies the source.Trump vowed he'd ‘never’ help Europe if it's attacked, top EU official says Politico EU, 10 January 2024
You weren't there, so maybe this didn't happen....
Breton is the current Commissioner for Internal Market of the European Union, so it's probably better to trust an anonymous Canadian's opinion.
Look for seventy years we have been imposing Pax Americana on Europe in the hope that they would not start another world war we have to go and straighten out.
Now it is time to cut the strings and let them be on their own and see if they come apart like Yugoslavia or manage to stay together in their Franco-German Empire.
They are a global army and a global government and American taxpayers pick up the tab.
More hearsay.
“ Europe hates Trump more than Hamas hates the Jews.”
The lunatic elites, EU World Bank types. Yes.
Exactly. It will be reported here and parroted by Haley.
Looks like Reuters and a few others are reporting it as well, and Biden’s people have put out a statement condemning Trump’s alleged remarks.
We need a foreign policy that is in the national interest rather than being in Klaus Schwab's best interest.
The UN army is made up troops on loan from various countries.
They can not fight together worth beans. Most do not even speak the same language.
The only time the UN Army is effective is when they are running it with US and to a lesser extent UK troops.
Trump is absolutely dumb enough to abandon NATO.
Russia has severely damaged it.
