“Stupid” and “inappropriate”: Biden attacks Trump again for his comments on NATO
US President Joe Biden on Tuesday once again slammed his Republican rival Donald Trump’s recent comments about the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). On Saturday, he later confirmed that “will encourage” Russia will attack the Alliance countries if they don’t pay their share.
“It’s stupid, it’s offensive, it’s dangerous, it’s un-American”Joe Biden asserted during a speech at the White House. “The worst thing is that he thinks. “Never before in our history has a president bowed to a Russian dictator.”He continued.
“When America gives its word, it means something. When we make a commitment, we stick to it, and NATO is a sacred commitment. Donald Trump sees this as a burden. He believes that (NATO) There is a racketeering system. He does not understand that NATO is based on the basic principles of freedom, security and sovereignty.Mr. Biden continued.
“For Trump, principles don’t matter, everything is up for grabs. He doesn’t understand that this sacred commitment also works for us.Added the 81-year-old Democrat, who, barring any surprises, will face the 77-year-old Republican magnate in November’s presidential election.
“Our adversaries have long sought to create a rift in the alliance. The greatest hope of those who wish to harm America is that NATO collapses. You can be sure they clapped when they heard Donald Trump.”Assured Joe Biden, who prides himself, on the contrary, has given new impetus to the organization.
The former president’s comments sparked outrage in Europe. Donald Trump regularly criticizes North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies for not keeping their commitments regarding military spending. About twenty NATO countries will reach the goal of 2% of their GDP in military spending this year, we learned from a source close to the alliance on Tuesday, just days after Republicans criticized states in Europe that will not pay their share.
