NATO Chief responds after Trump questions alliance
- 8 years ago
The head of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) criticized Donald Trump for saying the U.S. should set conditions for helping NATO allies.
“I will not interfere in the U.S. election campaign, but what I can do is say what matters for NATO,” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said.
“Solidarity among allies is a key value for NATO.”
Trump told The New York Times on Wednesday that the U.S. should only help NATO partners who "fulfill their obligations to us."
Article 5 of the NATO treaty states that all 28 members, including the U.S, must aid any member who comes under attack.
