"If they're paying their bills, and if I think they're being fair -- they're being fair to us, the answer is, absolutely, I would stay in NATO," Trump said, repeating a statement he's made over the past several years. and during the election campaign.
According to Trump, if the member states do not do this, then he will "definitely" consider the possibility of the US leaving the Alliance.
