Contender for the post of US President Donald Trump was reminded of the Alliance motto: “One for all and all for one.”
< p>Statements by Donald Trump, who is again aspiring to become the owner of the White House, that the United States may refuse to protect some NATO allies in the event of a Russian invasion, caused a harsh reaction from Western officials.
This is reported by Reuters.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stressed in a statement that any suggestion that allies would not protect each other “undermines all of our security, including that of the United States, and puts American and European soldiers at increased risk.” .
“Any attack on NATO will be met with a united and strong response,” he added.
Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz recalled that the motto NATO “one for all, all under one” is a concrete commitment.
“Undermining trust in allies means weakening the entire NATO. No election campaign is a reason to play with the security of the Alliance,” he wrote on the X platform.
After Trump's statement, the German Foreign Ministry published a message with the aforementioned slogan “One for all and all for one” with the hashtag #StrongerTogether on its English-language account X.
“Reckless statements about #NATO security and Article 5 solidarity only serve Putin's interests,” EU Council President Charles Michel was quoted as saying by Reuters.
As you know, Article 5 of the NATO treaty states that an armed attack on a member of the alliance will be considered an attack on all, which triggers collective self-defense.
Recall that the White House rejected former US President Donald Trump's comments that he was not protecting NATO allies from a possible Russian invasion, calling them “terrible and senseless.”
