The American President expressed his opinion on how to force partners to fulfill agreements.
If NATO member countries do not comply with their defense spending agreements, the United States will not cooperate with the Alliance.
This was stated during Donald Trump's interview with Fox News.
“If they don't do it, we go. We just don't do business with them anymore,” Trump said of NATO member states increasing their defense spending.
The American president spoke about trust. According to him, it is important, but there must be a guarantee and a case if partners do not adhere to it.
“If they don't comply, you go, that's the best defense. Just don't do business with them, you know? Don't do business. Trust is important, but as they say, 'trust and verify,'” Trump said.
Let us recall that it became known that US President Donald Trump has probably changed his mind about tightening sanctions against Russia.
