"Trump stated, 'Oh yes, I would say [it's] beyond reconsideration. I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and [Russian President Vladimir] Putin knows that too.'"
"'We've been there automatically, including Ukraine. Ukraine wasn't our problem. It was a test, and we were there for them, and we would always have been there for them. They weren't there for us.'"
"'You don't even have a navy. You're too old and had aircraft carriers that didn't work.'"
Trump expressed serious doubts about NATO's effectiveness, labeling it a 'paper tiger.' He is frustrated with European allies for not supporting U.S. efforts in Iran.

Trump criticized allies for not reciprocating U.S. support in past conflicts, specifically mentioning Ukraine. He also questioned the UK's military capabilities, suggesting they are outdated and ineffective in the current situation with Iran.
