Last week, Donald Trump expanded on his views on foreign policy, including America’s role in NATO, suggesting that it’s time for the US to adapt the alliance to focus on terrorism, and renegotiate defense deals with its allies. For his part, veteran commentator Pat Buchanan says Trump’s position has another advantage: preventing a nuclear war.
On Friday, The New York Times conducted an extensive, 100-minute interview with Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, getting him to explain his views on foreign policy, from the use of American troops abroad to US engagement in the Middle East, to the drama in the Korean peninsula and on the South China Sea.
But the policy position which garnered the most talk, and the most criticism from domestic pundits, was his position on NATO, and his views on Washington’s military commitments abroad in general.
In the interview, Trump emphasized that he believed that NATO was ‘obsolete’, because it was “formed many decades ago [when] we were a different country,” and “there was a different threat,” in the form of the Soviet Union, which no longer exists.
