Reference News Network on February 12**: According to AFP on February 11, Biden in the United States slammed the former Trump for downplaying his commitment to NATO as "shocking and dangerous", and warned on the 11th that the former ** intends to give Russian leader Putin the "green light for more war and violence". Before Biden's speech, Trump said in a speech on the 10th that he would "encourage" Russia to attack those NATO members who have not fulfilled their financial obligations. It was Trump's most extreme attack on a military alliance he had long doubted.
The US-led NATO, Trump has always been unimpressed: on the one hand, Trump believes that NATO is outdated, which is similar to what French Macron said that "NATO is brain dead"; On the other hand, Trump asked NATO members to raise defense spending to at least 2% of GDP, which many NATO members did not meet. Therefore, Trump bluntly said that the United States will not protect any NATO member that "defaults on its debts".
Biden is Trump's sworn enemy, and Trump's remarks were interpreted by Biden as - Trump intends to give Putin the "green light". Objectively speaking, Trump's relationship with Putin is really good. Trump has been in office for four years and has scolded the leaders of US allies, including former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, France's Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, etc., but he has never scolded Putin. For this reason, Biden doesn't know whether he is jealous or what he means, anyway, he is puzzled by Trump's approach.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Biden resolutely supported Ukraine, and even instigated Ukraine to fight with Russia to the last Ukrainian, and to continue to support Ukraine. However, Biden's approach was not only opposed by the US Congress and the American people - demanding that aid to Ukraine be reduced or even stopped, but also slammed by Trump - Trump said that if he was **, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict would not break out, and even if the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out, it could be resolved within 24 hours. Although Trump's words are somewhat exaggerated, as long as he can trample and ridicule Biden, Trump's purpose has been achieved.
The 2024 United States** will be held in early November, and Biden and Trump are likely to have a summit showdown again, and the two have long been familiar with each other's attacks. Biden said that Trump intends to give Putin a "green light", scolding both Trump and Putin, as if killing two birds with one stone, but what practical effect does it do? If Trump really becomes the owner of the White House in 2024, it cannot be ruled out that Biden's words scolding Trump will become a reality, let alone Trump's withdrawal from NATO or even the dissolution of NATO.
