Trump complained about NATO’s refusal to join the U.S. in the war, calling the decision “disappointing” and bad for the “partnership.”

He floated the idea of having the U.S. withdraw from the alliance as a result.

00:00I was surprised to see that NATO, while they agreed that it was a very important thing to do,
00:05they agreed fully. Nobody said, oh, you shouldn't do it. So I think NATO's making a very foolish
00:12mistake. And I've long said that, you know, I wonder whether or not NATO would ever be there
00:18for us. So this is a, this was a great test because we don't need them, but they should
00:22have been there. Are you rethinking the United States' relationship with NATO possibly getting
00:28out? Well, I'm disappointed in NATO that we spend trillions of dollars on NATO. Think of it,
00:34trillions over the years, many trillions of dollars. It's one of the reasons we have deficits
00:40and we help other countries. And when they don't help us, I mean, it's certainly something that
00:46we should think about. I don't need Congress for that decision. As you probably know, I can make
00:51that decision myself. The Pressure on NATO for not supporting you on this. Any repercussions?
00:57Well, no, I just think that it's not good for a partnership when they say what you're doing
01:02is a great thing, but we're not going to help.
