Trump Unleashes His Doubts On NATO: ‘We Don’t Get So Much Out Of It’ – Yahoo News

Donald Trump declared that he doesnt believe NATO would be there for the U.S. if the country were to be attacked.

At a Las Vegas rally on Saturday, the former president knocked Joe Bidens push for a bipartisan Senate deal on border security thats linked to Ukraine aid, claiming that its designed to continue the invasion of America while sending billions of dollars to other countries, according to a report from The Nevada Independent.

He went on to claim that the U.S. has provided $200 billion-plus to Ukraine while European nations are in for $20 billion, disregardingthe facts on aid to Ukraine since Russia invaded the country in February 2022.

Were spending were paying for NATO and we dont get so much out of it, said the Republican Party front-runner, who once called NATO obsolete and has campaigned on finishing the process of reevaluating the purpose and mission of NATO.

And you know, I hate to tell you this about NATO if we ever needed their help, lets say we were attacked, I dont believe theyd be there, trump continued. I dont believe. I know the people. I know them. I can tell you country by country who would be there and who but I dont believe theyd be there.

Journalist Aaron Rupar, who shared a clip of Trumps remarks on X, formerly Twitter, pointed out that NATO invoked Article 5 in its founding treaty for the first time following the 9/11 attacks. The article describes an armed attack against one member as an attack against them all.
