Bolton warns: Trump could plan NATO exit-Europeans in danger!

Vienna, AT - John Bolton, the former security advisor of Donald Trump, warns of a possible NATO outlet from the United States under a new Trump leadership. In a recent interview with the "Zeit", Bolton expressed his concerns that Trump repeatedly played with the idea of leaving the transatlantic defense alliance. "When I was at the NATO summit in Brussels in 2018, it almost happened. Shortly before his speech, he asked me if we should do it," said Bolton. He described that he was urgently able to keep Trump from leaving in the Situation at the time, but has not been out of his head since then, the news provider .

Bolton gained further insight into Trump's thinking: "He only understands dollars and cent, but not that we are stronger by NATO as an ally." The ex-consultant also criticized Friedrich Merz's efforts, the expected next German Chancellor, who is striving for more independence for the EU because they are increasingly distrusting the Americans. Bolton warned: "If Europeans are thinking about forming the EU into a new military alliance, Trump will give the freedom to pull out the United States," continued Bolton. This could have fatal consequences for transatlantic relationships, as could also have regionalheute.de reported.

Despair about NATO's possible departure from NATO is increasing, and the fears are great that such a step could destabilize global security. Europeans therefore have to do everything to give Trump no reason to justify his ideas about leaving, Bolton concluded and emphasized the need to maintain the transatlantic obligations.
