president of the United States Donald Trump considers serious changes regarding the participation of the United States in the organization of the North Atlantic Treaty.
< p > this is written by nbc News with reference to the three current and former high -ranking American officials and one representative of the US Congress. < p > according to officials, Trump discussed with his assistants the possibility of selective state participation in NATO in such a way as to help members of the alliance who spend on defense a certain percentage of their GDP. < p > < p > if such a change in policy occurs, the United States may not protect NATO member, who was attacked if this country does not reach a certain level of defense costs. If Trump still introduces this change, this will mean a significant departure from the basic principle of the Alliance, known as Article 5, which says that the attack on any NATO country is an attack on all.US President also considers a change in politics according to which the states can choose the priority of military exercises with NATO members, who spend the established percentage of their GDP defense. Its administration has already signaling America’s European allies that the United States can reduce its military presence in Europe. One of the options that are being considered now is the transfer of some American troops in the region so that they are concentrated in NATO countries that have increased their defense costs. < p > < p > Trump repeatedly criticized the NATO countries for the discretion of the current goal of the alliance members to spend 2% of his GDP for defense. He argued that the imbalance is unfair and creates an additional burden for the United States.
< p > NATO countries have agreed more than ten years ago – to establish the level of expenses for each of them in 2% of GDP. But Trump insisted on increasing this percentage. He recently said that NATO members should spend 5% of their GDP defense, although the United States is not doing this now.
