Trump can withdraw the US from NATO: how serious a threat is this to Europe?

Western media write that Donald Trump, if he wins the presidential election, may withdraw the United States from NATO. If this happens, there are certain threats to Europe.

This is the opinion 24 Channel voiced by political scientist Nikolai Davydyuk. According to him, the US withdrawal from NATO will be very beneficial for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

Threats to Europe

Nikolai Davydyuk noted that if Donald Trump becomes president and announces the US withdrawal from the Alliance, it will be very bad for Europe. First of all, there will be a huge threat to the security of European countries.

It will be bad if the US leaves NATO. This will be a weakening. All European security will simply collapse. The States are losing their entire most partnered continent. And Russia gets a continent for attacks, crimes, bullying, new occupations,” he suggested.

In this case, it will be easier for Putin to attack European countries. Russian occupiers can commit the same terrible atrocities in Europe as in Ukraine.

On the other hand, as the political scientist emphasized, it will be very difficult for Trump to do this. After all, such decisions are not made only by presidential decree.
