Trump reiterated his strong disappointment in NATO

US President Donald Trump said on April 26 that he was very disappointed with the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO).

"As for NATO, I am very, very disappointed in NATO," the head of the White House said in an interview with Fox News.

According to Trump, his dissatisfaction is caused by the fact that NATO members did not provide the United States with the necessary support when it was needed.

"We served them for many years, spent trillions of dollars, and when we needed a little help, they weren't around. Therefore, we must remember this," the President stressed.
