Trump attacks NATO again, says NATO countries need to pay for their own defence | N18G

On March 6, President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. would not defend NATO countries that do not contribute sufficiently to their own defense. He criticized NATO member states for not paying enough and warned that delinquent countries would not receive American protection. Trump acknowledged NATO’s potential but stressed the need for reform and better thinking within the alliance. Concurrently, former Ukrainian army chief Valeriy Zaluzhnyi expressed concerns that NATO might cease to exist, citing the White House’s questioning of Western unity and the shifting responsibility for Europe’s defense to its own forces. European Union leaders and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy met in Brussels amid rising fears that Russia, emboldened by its invasion of Ukraine, could target an EU country next. This uncertainty has driven dramatic defense policy decisions in Europe, with increasing doubts about the U.S.'s willingness to defend Europe in the face of Russian aggression.
