Following Mr. Trump’s remarks at a rally in South Carolina on Saturday that he would let Russia “do whatever the hell they want” to alliance countries that don’t pay enough for defense, NATO intervened.
Previously, the US president has declared that he would let Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” to alliance members who don’t contribute enough to defense.
Additionally, Joe Biden referred to the remarks made by his Republican opponent as “appalling and dangerous”.
The 81-year-old president claimed that Trump was acknowledging that he had given Putin “the green light for more war and violence” in Ukraine and that he had expanded “his aggression” to include Poland and the Baltic States. The president has recently been under fire following a report that raised doubts about his memory.
Mr. Biden continued: “Sadly, they are also predictable coming from a man who is promising to rule as a dictator like the ones he praises on day one if he returns to the Oval Office.”
“Keeping American people safe here at home” is “critical” to his point of view, and he emphasized this.
During a Saturday rally in South Carolina, Mr. Trump recounted a conversation he had with an unidentified “big country” that inquired about their protection in the event of a Russian strike.
“‘You didn’t pay?’ I asked. You’re a miscreant? I wouldn’t shield you, no. To be more precise, I would say let them do whatever the heck they want. You are required to pay. You have to pay your expenses,” he urged the assembly.
NATO retorted, saying that it was “still ready and able to defend all allies.” We will respond to any attack on NATO with combined strength and determination.
“Any indication that friends won’t stand by one another endangers everyone’s security, including US security, and increases the risk to US and European forces.
