That’s not what occurred. That’s not how I view the assertion. He was speaking a few story that he talked about occurred previously. By the best way, Donald Trump was president and he didn’t pull us out of NATO. In reality, American troops have been stationed all through NATO and he’s telling a narrative. Frankly, look, Donald Trump isn’t a member of the Council of International Relations. He doesn’t speak like a conventional politician. We’ve already been by way of this. You suppose individuals would have figured it out.
Should you see the feedback, he stated NATO was broke or busted till he took over as a result of individuals weren’t paying their dues after which he informed the story about how he used leverage to get individuals to step as much as the plate and change into extra energetic in NATO. He’s not the primary American president, actually, just about each American in some unspecified time in the future ultimately has complained about different international locations and NATO not doing sufficient. Trump’s simply the primary one to precise it in these phrases. I’m zero involved. He’s been president earlier than. I do know precisely what he’s finished and can do with the NATO alliance.

It was embarrassing to look at Rubio spin and play dumb.
Trump doesn’t perceive Russia, NATO, or worldwide relations.
NATO isn’t Mar-a-Lago.
It isn’t a membership the place individuals pay dues to get in. NATO is a strategic protection alliance. It isn’t conditional. Rubio is aware of all of this, and he additionally is aware of that Trump tried to destroy NATO and divide the members throughout his presidency.
It’s a shame to the NATO that Marco Rubio would Trump endanger global and national security, however that’s what the Senator from Florida did by justifying and defending Trump’s feedback.
