President of the European Council Michel states that the threats of the 45th U.S. President Donald Trump emphasize the need for the EU to urgently develop its strategic autonomy.
European Council President Charles Michel criticized Trump's claims that he would "encourage" Russia to aggress against NATO.
Michel emphasized that reckless statements about NATO's security and solidarity with Article 5 serve only the interests of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. The President of the European Council emphasized that the Transatlantic Alliance has been supporting the security and prosperity of Americans, Canadians, and Europeans for 75 years.
"Reckless statements on NATO's security and Article 5 solidarity only serve Putin's interests. They do not bring more security or peace to the world," he wrote.
Trump's scandalous statement
The former U.S. president told how he threatened NATO countries to incite Russia to attack them if they did not contribute to the Alliance.
This statement has already caused outrage in the White House and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
After that, the Polish authorities also responded to former U.S. leader Donald Trump's statement that as president he was not going to defend NATO allies from a possible attack for free.
