The White Home blasted Trump’s NATO risk as endangering America’s nationwide safety, world safety, and the US financial system.
Trump mentioned at his rally in South Carolina, “One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, Well sir, uh, if we don’t pay, and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us? I said, you didn’t pay? You’re delinquent? He said, yes. Let’s say that happened. No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.”

White Home spokesperson Andrew Bates responded to Trump’s risk, “President Biden has restored our alliances and made us stronger in the world because he knows every commander in chief’s first responsibility is to keep the American people safe and hold true to the values that unite us. Thanks to President Biden’s experienced leadership, NATO is now the largest and most vital it has ever been. Encouraging invasions of our closest allies by murderous regimes is appalling and unhinged – and it endangers American national security, global stability, and our economy at home. Rather than calling for wars and promoting deranged chaos, President Biden will continue to bolster American leadership and stand up *for* our national security interests – not against them.”
The media tends to disregard Trump as a risk to world safety, however what Trump mentioned in South Carolina matches up along with his view of NATO. Trump has gotten extra excessive since leaving workplace in that he’s now threatening to let Russia invade a NATO ally and he’ll do nothing.
Trump’s feedback need to be music to Putin’s ears, as a result of if the previous president returns to the White Home meaning there will probably be nobody making an attempt to maintain the NATO alliance robust in the US. Putin and different authoritarians might run wild and Trump would permit it to occur.
As a substitute of obsessing about Biden’s age, the media must be discussing Trump’s risk to destroy NATO.
