NATO didn't come to our rescue; they wanted to send ships when the war was over: Trump | #shorts
Summary
Trump expresses disappointment with NATO, claiming it has done nothing to assist during crises. He characterizes NATO as a 'paper tiger' and asserts that while NATO would come to the rescue of others, it fails to support the U.S. when needed.
He criticizes NATO's delayed response, stating that the alliance only seeks to help when the situation is dire. Trump emphasizes that NATO should be involved at the onset of conflicts rather than waiting until they escalate.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte counters Trump's claims by highlighting the alliance's historical support for the U.S., particularly after the 9/11 attacks. Rutte mentions Denmark's significant contributions in Afghanistan as evidence of NATO's commitment.
