Trump says NATO stronger under his leadership, stresses US role
Speaking during a briefing, Trump is asked whether he remains committed to keeping the US within NATO. In response, he highlights his relationship with the alliance, saying, "I've had such a good relationship. I've made it so much better, so much stronger. It's so good. Now NATO is so much stronger."
While signaling general approval of NATO, Trump also criticizes decisions made by the alliance in the past, noting that many of those actions took place before his presidency.
"I don't agree with a lot of the things they've done, but that was done before I got there. I think NATO has been good. Sometimes it's overrated ... but we have a strong NATO. When I came here, we had a weak NATO. ... If NATO doesn't have us, NATO is not very strong," he says, according to statements.
