You\u2019re delinquent?\u2019\u201d Trump said. \u201c\u2018No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage [Russia] to do whatever the hell they want. You gotta pay.

According to the Associated Press, 10 current members are spending 2% or more of their gross domestic product on national defense (a target pledge made by all member nations in 2014), while 13 are spending 1.5% or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2023\/07\/11\/nato-chief-defends-ukraines-by-the-books-membership-path\/\" target=\"_blank\">NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg,<\/a> in a statement responding to Trump\u2019s comments, said that \u201cany suggestion that allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security, including that of the U.S., and puts American and European soldiers at increased risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden said he has worked to strengthen U.S. involvement in the alliance since he took over from Trump in 2021, and criticized a return to an adversarial stance towards NATO that Trump fostered during his time in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTrump\u2019s admission that he intends to give Putin a green light for more war and violence, to continue his brutal assault against a free Ukraine, and to expand his aggression to the people of Poland and the Baltic States are appalling and dangerous,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s comments also brought swift condemnation from other critics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Trump\u2019s primary opponent in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination this year, said the NATO comments made her \u201csick to my stomach.\u201d Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander retired Gen. Wesley Clark, who now advises VoteVets, said the comments amount to \u201cencouraging World War III, which will hit our shores and cost American lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2024\/02\/12\/polands-new-government-eyes-role-as-eu-ukraine-middleman\/\" target=\"_blank\">Polish President Andrzej Duda<\/a>, who has expressed support for Trump in the past, said support for NATO must be strong \u201cregardless of who is currently in power in Poland and the USA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has not responded to the criticism publicly or on social media since his South Carolina appearance. At that event, he also appeared to mock Haley for her husband\u2019s absence on the campaign trail, hinting that he may not have faith in her ability to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maj. Michael Haley has been deployed in Africa with the South Carolina National Guard since June 2023. Haley called Trump\u2019s remarks part of a pattern of \u201csomeone who continually disrespects the sacrifices of military families.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
