Donald Trump Privately Tells Aides He Wants US Out Of NATO, The One Thing Vladimir Putin Wants Most
Three days after an explosive New York Times report revealed that starting in May of 2017, Donald Trump was under an FBI counterintelligence investigation to determine whether he was a Russian agent, a new report by the same paper on Monday said that throughout 2018, Trump stated his intention to achieve what experts say is one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most coveted policy goals — the United States’ withdrawal from NATO.
Trumps has long expressed skepticism of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a military and security alliance that will turn 70-years-old in April of this year. Even before his inauguration in 2017, Trump worried allies by dismissing NATO as “obsolete,” according to the BBC.
