“President Donald Trump is contemplating a serious change to the U.S.’ participation within the North Atlantic Treaty Group,“ NBC Information reviews.
“Trump has mentioned with aides the opportunity of calibrating America’s NATO engagement in a method that favors members of the alliance that spend a set share of their gross home product on protection.”
“As a part of the potential coverage shift, the U.S. won’t defend a fellow NATO member that’s attacked if the nation doesn’t meet the protection spending threshold, the officers stated. If Trump does make that change, it could mark a big shift from a core tenet of the alliance generally known as Article 5, which says that an assault on any NATO nation is an assault on all of them.”
