Details: According to the American president, Trump, with his words about NATO, “sent a dangerous, shocking and truly un-American message to the world” and “gave Putin the go-ahead to invade some NATO member countries that are our allies.”
“The whole world heard this. And the worst thing is that he is not joking. In our history, not a single president has succumbed to the Russian dictator. Let me say this as clearly as possible… For God’s sake, this is stupid, shameful, dangerous, not American style!” Biden emphasized.
He added that Trump does not understand the nature of the Alliance, “built on the fundamental principles of freedom, security and national sovereignty” because for him “principles never matter and everything is a commodity.”
“Our adversaries have long sought to drive a wedge between us. The greatest hope of all those who wish harm to the Americans is for NATO to fall apart. You can be sure that they all applauded when they heard Donald Trump and heard what he said,” he said American President.
Biden assured that if during his presidency “Putin attacks a NATO ally, the United States will defend every inch of the Alliance’s territory.”
Former US President and front-runner for the Republican nomination Donald Trump stepped up its criticism of NATO regarding the level of assistance to Ukraine.
During a rally in South Carolina, Trump recalled how during his presidency he threatened to “encourage Russia.” attack one of the NATO members, who do not fulfill financial obligations to the Alliance. These words caused a sharp reaction from the White House, the NATO Secretary General and many European capitals.
