Former President Donald Trump has committed to offering military assistance to NATO nations if members of the military alliance pay their fair share, pointing out that the United States is not obligated to pay for “everybody else.”

Last month, President Trump suggested during a rally that under his presidency, NATO nations that fail to fulfill their financial obligations toward the alliance would not receive help from the United States when attacked by Russia.
