Democrats Call for Trump-Proofing NATO

February 13, 2024 · 6:40 am ET · Leave a Comment

“Congress needs to take new steps to protect NATO after Donald Trump said he would ‘encourage’ Russia to attack member countries that don’t meet their financial commitments, several Democratic senators said Monday,” Politico reports.

“The former president’s comments raised fresh concerns among NATO supporters that Trump could still dramatically undermine the pact without withdrawing if he returns to the White House next year. And allies who have reassured themselves that Trump can’t do anything radical if reelected need to be on watch.”
