President Joe Biden on Tuesday lambasted former President Donald Trump’s comments that he would “encourage” Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” to NATO-aligned countries that are “delinquent” — calling it “shocking” and “un-American.”
“The former president has set a dangerous, and shockingly, frankly un-American signal to the world,” Biden said in a speech at the White House.
Trump made the comments over the weekend, saying he wouldn’t protect a NATO nation that didn’t contribute enough defense funds. Trump’s remarks echo his long-standing criticism of the role the U.S. plays in providing security for other countries — including major allies.
