Trump warns: Europeans must foot the bill
Before taking off for Paris, American president-elect spoke with journalist Kristen Welker at the Trump Tower. On the occasion, he issued a strong warning towards NATO.
Donald Trump addresses his European allies. Will he want to remain in the Atlantic alliance? Yes, but on certain conditions... “they [the Europeans] must pay the bill! If they pay more, we'll stay, of course...”. The Republican businessman is hinting that the United States could leave NATO.
He's opening the door to threats and applying pressure, a strategy that is well established in the Republican camp. He also intends to exert this pressure on his policy of taxes on products imported into the United States, which could target Canada, Mexico and China, reports France info.
While Joe Biden has just pardoned his son Hunter, Donald Trump explains that, as soon as he returns to the White House, he could grant pardons to his supporters who attacked the Capitol in 2021.
