CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour said Monday on CNN’s “News Central” that she believes former President Donald Trump’s comments about NATO are “literally insane.”
“One of the presidents of a great nation stood up and said, if we don’t pay and Russia attacks us, will you protect us?” Trump said at the rally. Even though you said you didn’t pay, are you in arrears? he said so. Tell me that happened, no, I won’t protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever they want to do. Must be paid. you have to pay the bill. ”
“People are surprised,” Amanpour said. “I mean, they think that kind of invitation and encouragement from the front-runner for the Republican nomination in the United States is literally crazy. For a US presidential candidate to say such a thing in public while President Putin is holding a press conference to withdraw his policy on negotiations means that he is essentially trying to make the negotiations over Ukraine his own. It’s a negotiation based on terms. For a leading Republican candidate where people have to take his word for it, no one’s trying to guess what he’s saying. They’re taking his word for it. As you can imagine, that caused a lot of anxiety.”
She went on to say, “Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, who is usually very cautious and diplomatic, immediately came out and dismissed this comment, saying, “You know, no matter what political party or who it is.” , the President of the United States said he expects to abide by the treaty.” So the idea that he used the word to encourage Russia to do what it wanted to do in Europe, Europeans and the rest of the world, This is particularly frightening for the defense of democracy and the international world. As you know, it is an order that has been led by the United States since World War II.
