Trump was no stranger when it came to discussing NATO throughout his 2016 political campaign towards presidency. One of the many quotes he made during his campaign was:
“Germany owes vast sums of money to NATO, and the United States must be paid more for the powerful, and very expensive, defense it provides to Germany.” – President Trump, Twitter, MAR182017
Now, Trump is there again. Here are some quotes from his current meeting at Nato;
Trump Stated that the EU was partially created “to take advantage of the United States.” – President Trump, NATO Summit 2019
In relation to Russia – US Relationships, “We can get along with Russia. I think it’s a good thing to get along with Russia. I go to big stadiums and people like it.” – President Trump, NATO Summit 2019
In responses to impeachment inquiries, he stated “because somebody picked an orange out of the refrigerator and you don’t like it, so let’s go and impeach him.” – President Trump, NATO Summit 2019 – President Trump, NATO Summit 2019
President Trump is leaving a mark at the NATO summit, and he is sticking to his guns in terms of what he said during his campaign. He’s not a fan of NATO, and he seems as if he’s not afraid to say what he said in America during his campaign in front of the world theatre at the NATO conference.
