"NATO Tensions: Biden Condemns Trump's Remarks, Advisers Rush to Spin"

President Biden criticized former President Trump's comments on NATO, calling them "shocking" and "un-American." Trump had stated that he would "encourage" Russia to act as it pleased with NATO-aligned countries that didn't contribute enough to defense funds. Biden emphasized the importance of the U.S.'s commitment to NATO and condemned Trump's remarks as an "invitation to Putin." Trump doubled down on his message, claiming he had made NATO "strong" by pressuring countries to "pay up." Some of Trump's allies defended his comments, while Biden urged the House to vote on a $95 billion foreign aid bill passed by the Senate.
