Trump says the US cannot continue its one-sided relationship with NATO

# President Donald Trump says it is ridiculous for the United States to continue its one-sided relationship with the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. He has repeatedly criticised European allies over their response to the Iranian war, as several countries restricted the use of their bases for American forces. Trump says in a post on Truth Social Washington’s relationship with NATO is not reciprocal, as they invest more than the other member states. Last year, NATO agreed to boost defence-related spending to five-percent of members’ gross-domestic-product by 2035.
