Deep dives
Trump's comments on NATO spark controversy
Former President Donald Trump faced backlash for his comments on supporting Russia attacking US allies that don't meet their defense obligations to NATO. Trump stated that if allies don't pay their fair share, he would not protect them and would encourage Russia to do as it pleases. President Biden and others criticized Trump's remarks, calling them shameful and un-American. However, it is important to note that Trump's pressure on NATO allies to contribute more financially did result in increased contributions during his presidency.
