Trump, who has nearly clinched the Republican nomination for president, has been critical of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which was established in 1949 by the U.S., Canada and 10 Western European nations to defend against the former Soviet Union. Trump’s main criticisms of NATO, which now has 28 member nations, are that the alliance no longer serves its founding purpose and that it is too costly to the U.S., which pays about 22 percent of direct spending by NATO, the most of any nation, according to budget information. The U.S. also pays a much larger portion of the organization’s indirect costs, NATO says.
То есть, перефразируя класссика, "слухи о смерти нато преувеличены"
А уж будучи Президентом, онии вовсе заверяет о нерушимой дружбе братских народов. Но деньги несите, не без этого. И я щитаю, что это справедливо
