J.D. Vance Explained Whether Trump Will Keep the US in NATO.
The US vice-presidential candidate from the Republican Party, J.D. Vance, stated that if Donald Trump wins the elections again, the USA will remain in NATO, but urged other member countries of the Alliance to bear their current defense responsibility.
He stated this in an interview with NBC News.
"He wants us to stay in NATO. But he also wants NATO countries to really carry their share of the defense burden," Vance said.
Trump most often notes that, thanks to his pressure on NATO member countries, they have increased their defense spending.
"We will stay in NATO," emphasized J.D. Vance.
Vance noted that there is an uneven commitment among NATO member countries, especially with Germany, which has the largest economy in Europe.
"In fact, it is the UK, a few other countries, and the United States. The problem with NATO is that especially Germany needs to spend more on security, needs to spend more on defense," emphasized J.D. Vance.
