Trump’s NATO Comments Could Backfire in Swing States

The Biden campaign shared a video clip of Donald Trump saying he might not defend NATO countries against Russian aggression. It’s been viewed more than 16 million times.

Playbook: “Aside from the obvious national security implications, there are potential political implications to Trump’s comment. It’s worth noting that the NATO member countries most concerned about future Russian aggression — Poland, Finland, and the Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia — also happen to be well represented in the three pivotal swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.”
