"Trump's Warning to Europe: US Will Never Aid in Attack, Senior Officials Say"
TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump reportedly told top European officials in 2020 that the U.S. would never come to Europe's aid if it were under attack, and also threatened to leave NATO, citing unpaid defense contributions. The remarks, recounted by E.U. official Thierry Breton, have drawn criticism from President Joe Biden's campaign. Trump's confrontational approach with traditional allies during his first term has raised concerns about potential isolationist policies if he were to win the 2024 presidential election.
