The President of the USA, Donald Trump, criticized NATO for not standing by the United States in critical situations, stating that the alliance has created problems for itself.

Donald Trump, the president of the USA, resumed his criticisms of NATO on Thursday, stating that the alliance "has created a problem for itself" by lacking support from the United States. In a discussion with the press at the White House, Trump emphasized that the USA spends trillions of dollars on NATO but has not received help in situations deemed less serious. Although his administration has suspended military aid to Ukraine, Trump stated that the USA has always stood by Ukraine in difficult times. He highlighted NATO's weakness, pointing out that most members are European and face the Russian threat, suggesting that the alliance would not be able to respond in the event of a major crisis. Trump hinted that the USA might reconsider its involvement in NATO or could move troops from countries that do not provide support.
