RebE,
read up on NATO currently trying to re-organize back into a defense alliance, exactly what T was asking them. See, for example, below. now, does it mean I know what he’ll do re:NATO in his next term, no I don’t. But it does not mean we should distort the record.
Jens Stoltenberg 2019
And your leadership on defense spending is having a real impact. Since 2016, Canada and European allies have added $130 billion more to the defense budgets, and this number will increase to 400 billion U.S. dollars by 2024.
Q What do you think about President Macron’s criticism about NATO, saying that it is “brain dead”?PRESIDENT TRUMP: Who said that?
Q President Macron.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: .. Now, NATO serves a great purpose. It got to be unfair for the United States because the United States was paying a disproportionate amount. … I think that’s very insulting to a lot of different forces, including the man that does a very good job in running NATO.
No, it has a great purpose, especially with the fact that NATO is becoming much more flexible, in terms of what it looks at.
