"One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, 'Well, sir, if we don't pay and we're attacked by Russia, will you protect us?'" Trump told an audience at a campaign rally in South Carolina. "I said, 'You didn't pay. You're delinquent.' He said, 'Yes, let's say that happened.' No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.'" The anecdote sparked cheers and applause from the attendees.
The Biden administration immediately blasted the remarks as 'appalling and unhinged.'
