Trump says US support forsays US support for NATO is ridiculous ahead of summit
US President Donald Trump declared on July 2 that it is "ridiculous" for the United States to continue its "one sided" relationship with NATO, less than a week before a NATO summit in Ankara.
This statement challenges the current alliance framework as the US prepares for high-level diplomatic discussions in Turkey. The move matters as it signals potential shifts in US foreign policy commitments toward European security partners.
