Trump wants to get us either out of NATO to dramatically reduce how much we spend on NATO and build a better relationship with Russia but the EU bureaucrats and the US Deep State are fighting against that tooth and nail. From their perspective, ending NATO or even downsizing our commitment to it disrupts one of the gravy trains they've been riding for decades.

Seems to me that with saying anyone that doesn't go along with sanctions against Russia and Iran will also have US sanctions imposed on them and now with saying we should go back to the G8 format (which discounts the value of the democrat/Eurocrat "Russia, Russia, Russia" meme to zero) is his way of getting to his goal through a back door.

He'll make enough trouble for them that they'll be anxious to have less US control of anything in Europe starting with our permanent leadership roles within NATO which often take precedence over what the Eurocrats want..

NATO stopped being the entity it was designed for long ago. Heck they just announced if Gaza attacked Israel they would NOT assist Israel because they aren’t a member....yet look at what we flood into Ukraine who isn’t either!
