According to Axios, President Trump said he does not rule out the possibility of more U.S. military forces leaving Europe. He added that he will see how NATO performs in the ongoing conflict with Iran, expressing disappointment in the alliance’s support.
Trump noted that he might not have attended the NATO summit in Turkey if it had not been held, and criticized NATO for not standing by the U.S. on the Iran issue, even before he requested assistance. He highlighted that the United States has spent hundreds of billions of dollars to protect Europe.
