Trump sanoo, että Nato-maat käyttivät "miljardeja" sen jälkeen, kun hän uhkasi olla puolustamatta EU:ta

Former President Donald Trump said NATO countries spent billions and billions of dollars on their defenses after he threatened to not protect Europe if it were attacked.

Speaking at a New Hampshire rally Friday night, Trump blasted European countries for relying too heavily on Washington when it comes to defense spending. After meeting with NATO leaders during his presidency, Trump said he realized the United States was footing the bill.

When he raised that concern, a European leader asked him, Does that mean if were not paid up, youre not going to protect us? Trump said.

I said thats exactly what it means, he said. And the following day, billions and billions of dollars came pouring in.

A POLITICO report earlier this month revealed that Trump had told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020 that the U.S. wouldnt come to Europes defense if it was attacked.

Trumps campaign had not responded to previous requests for comment on the meeting. It is unclear if Trump was referring at his Friday rally to the specific conversation with von der Leyen.
