Trump casts doubt on willingness to defend Nato allies "if they don`t pay"

07-03-2025 09:03

US President Donald Trump has cast doubt on his willingness to defend Washington`s Nato allies, saying that he would not do so if they are not paying enough for their own defense, writes The Guardian.

"It`s common sense, right", Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “If they don`t pay, I`m not going to defend them. No, I`m not going to defend them”.

Trump said he had been of this view for years and shared it with Nato allies during his 2017-2021 presidential term. Those efforts prompted more spending from other members of the 75-year-old transatlantic alliance, he said, but that "even now, it`s not enough".

He added: "They should be paying more".
