Former United States President and the Republican nominee in the 2024 election Donald Trump stated on Monday that Europe should be more concerned about the crisis in the Middle East, yet it is not asked to invest more in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
Speaking at the National Guard Association's summit in Detroit, Michigan, Trump insisted that despite the geographic proximity, the US invests more in NATO and "the defense of Europe" and urged to "equalize this." "We paid for everybody," he stressed.
Moreover, Trump claimed that the previous Democratic administration harmed the country's trade relations with Europe, saying there are few US products on sale in the Old Continent.
