For me the biggest problem is Ukraine, the country I live next to. Trump is more than happy to pull out of NATO
Congress already passed a law requiring Congressional approval to pull out so he can’t do it unilaterally.
> Trump is more than happy to pull out of NATO
Why, what's the idea behind it? Isn't he big on military and showing power?
Trump doesn’t want to leave NATO, that would be dumb. He wants those not “paying their fair share” to pay more or the US will leave. It’s a negotiating tactic. So if you don’t want the US to leave NATO and you’re in a NATO country then get them to spend more on NATO.
You probably know this, but just in case: NATO is not a club you pay 2% in to for protection. The 2% is the required spending on YOUR OWN defence. In practice this benefits USA as a major weapon producer, at least it has until now. I have a feeling Europe feels less certain that they will buy American next time.
