Current US President Joe Biden criticized former President Donald Trump for his words that he would support Russian aggression against NATO countries.
According to CNN , Biden said Trump “sent a dangerous and shocking anti-American message to the world” and essentially “invited Putin” to attack some of the United States’ NATO allies.
“The former President of the United States said this. The whole world heard it, and worst of all, that's exactly what he meant. No other president in history has ever bowed to a Russian dictator. Let me say this as clearly as possible: I will never do this. For God's sake, this is stupid, this is disgraceful, this is dangerous, this is un-American,” Biden said.
According to Biden, Trump considers NATO a burden that extorts money from America. “He doesn’t understand that NATO is built on the principles of freedom, security and sovereignty,” Biden added, calling the US commitment to the alliance “sacred.”
On February 11, speaking at a meeting with his constituents in South Carolina, Donald Trump spoke about his alleged conversation with one of the European leaders.
He allegedly asked Trump whether the United States would protect its NATO allies from Russian aggression if they did not pay dues. “No, I wouldn’t defend you. In fact, I would encourage them [Russia] to do whatever the hell they want. You have to pay,” Trump told him.
