Stoltenberg responds to Trump's words: "Undermining our security"
OSLO - 12.02.2024 - HİBYA - NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reacted to former US President Donald Trump's statement during his election campaign in South Carolina, where he suggested he would "encourage" Russia to attack NATO allies he believed had not met their financial obligations.
In a statement to the Norwegian media, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reacted to Trump's words by saying, "We are undermining our security," and added, "Any hint that allies will not defend each other undermines our security."
"NATO is ready to defend all its allies. An attack on NATO will be met with a united and strong response. I assume that regardless of who wins the presidential election, the United States will remain a strong and committed NATO ally," he said.
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a press release, "Encouraging murderous regimes to invade our closest allies is despicable, unbalanced, and jeopardizes America's national security, global stability, and economy."
