What did Trump say about NATO during his press conference?
Donald Trump just finished up a disastrous press conference in the Oval Office. At the same time, he was crashing our markets. Donald Trump, during this press conference, talked about pulling the United States potentially out of NATO.
He didn't use those exact words, but judge for yourself here when Donald Trump was asked if he thinks that NATO would help the United States if the United States was attacked. Let's play it.
And, you know, the biggest problem I have with NATO, I really, you know, I mean, I know the guys very well. They're friends of mine. But if the United States was in trouble and we called them, we said, we got a problem. France, we got a problem. A couple of others I won't mention. Do you think they're going to come and protect us? They're supposed to. I'm not so sure.
You know, with Japan, we have a deal, which is a very interesting one.
And I love Japan. Yeah, quite literally, NATO has very recently come to the defense of the United States. And that just gives you that Donald Trump's perspective of the world is perfectly aligned with Vladimir Putin's, our enemies. And that's why Donald Trump wants us to join the axis of evil and has already pulled us into it with Putin, North Korea, Belarus, and Hungary.
Here, Donald Trump is asked by Peter Doocy if he's considering changes to NATO or not helping out NATO. Watch his response. Let's play it.
Any changes to NATO where a NATO country gets attacked, but they're not paid enough dues so the United States doesn't defend them?
Well, I've said that to them. I said, if you're not going to pay, we're not going to defend. I said that seven years ago. And because of that, they paid hundreds of billions of dollars. I said, if you're not going to pay your bills, we're not going to defend you. And it also went for the attack. But if they got attacked, they said, well, does that mean you won't defend us?
I said, are you current or are you delinquent? They said, if we were delinquent, would you? I said, nope, I would not.
