"So what we have gotten out of NATO is nothing, except to protect Europe from the Soviet Union and now Russia, the president told the gathering in Switzerland."
"We've never needed them, we have never really asked anything of them, the president said. You know, they'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this or that, and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines."
"You saw a masterclass, a true, amazing masterclass in diplomacy, statesmanship, leadership in Davos this week with President Trump. His critique of Europe in his Davos speech was one of the most important statements that a president has made about that continent in memory, said Miller, who has played a key role in drafting many of Trump's speeches. He went on to say, Europe has slowly been killing itself by investing in green energy, its reckless migration policy, and not investing in defense."
Donald Trump insulted several U.S. allies while speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, demanding that the United States acquire Greenland and repeatedly confusing Greenland with Iceland. Trump criticized NATO, calling its contributions effectively worthless aside from defending Europe from the Soviet Union and Russia. He falsely claimed that China builds windmills sold to "stupid people" and minimized the U.K.'s role in Afghanistan, questioning NATO's necessity. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the remarks and noted British casualties in Afghanistan. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller called the Davos appearance a "masterclass" and blamed Europe for green energy, migration, and defense failures.
