TRUMP’S OUTBURST ALARMED NATO ALLIES

Donald Trump said over the weekend that, while president, he told NATO allies
that he would “encourage” Russia to do “whatever the hell they want” to
countries that had not paid the money he claimed they owed to the military
alliance.

Trump’s statement, made at a campaign rally in South Carolina, seemed to cast
NATO as more of a protection racket than an alliance. It stunned many in Europe,
where nations have been developing military capabilities in case U.S. support
proves unreliable.

Trump has long called for the U.S. to leave NATO and questioned American support
for foreign allies. National security veterans of both parties said that such
thinking misunderstands the value of the alliances for the U.S.

Never before has an American president — even a former one aspiring to reclaim
the White House — suggested that he would incite an enemy to attack American
allies. If Trump’s statement is to be believed, his potential re-election this
year may fundamentally alter the world order.

Possible consequences: Abandoning NATO allies could effectively end the security
umbrella that has long guarded friends in Europe, Asia, Latin America and the
Middle East; it could also negate the value of mutual security agreements with
countries like Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, Argentina, Australia and
Panama.
