Abandoning statements made during his presidential campaign that NATO was ‘obsolete,’ President Trump on Friday came out in support of the NATO charter’s requirement that all members be prepared to defend each other.
Trump said he supports Article 5 of the NATO charter at a joint news conference with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis. Article 5 is the section of the charter which obligates all NATO members to mutually defend any member that comes under attack.
‘As you know, I have been an advocate for strengthening our NATO alliance through greater responsibility and burden-sharing among member nations – and that is what is happening,’ Trump said at the press conference.
