5 ways Trump could destroy NATO

(Victor Jack and Jack Detsch – Politico) Donald Trump this week dramatically stepped up his threats toward NATO as his rage at America’s allies intensified over their refusal to join the U.S. war against Iran. On Wednesday the U.S. president said he was “absolutely” considering quitting the alliance. Although he didn’t elaborate on that threat in a televised address later that evening, the remarks were his strongest yet in underlining his distaste for the 77-year-old pact. “I’ll be discussing my disgust with NATO,” he said ahead of his speech, later telling POLITICO: “I’m disappointed in them … if I ever did need them, they wouldn’t be there.” – 5 ways Trump could destroy NATO – POLITICO
