Can the countries in the porganization vote in the November election?
The above statement seems right out of Russian President Putin’s play book….
One of Europe’s most senior politicians recounted how former U.S. President Donald Trump privately warned that America would not come to the EU’s aid if it was attacked militarily.
“You need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you,” Trump told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020, according to French European Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was also present at a meeting at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
“By the way, NATO is dead, and we will leave, we will quit NATO,” Trump also said, according to Breton. “And he added, ‘and by the way, you owe me $400 billion, because you didn’t pay, you Germans, what you had to pay for defense,'” Breton said about the tense meeting, where the EU’s then-trade chief Phil Hogan was also present.
Breton told the anecdote at an event in the European Parliament in Brussels on Tuesday, just days before the Republican Party holds its January 15 caucus in Iowa, the opening contest in Trump’s bid to win the Republican nomination for a run at returning to the White House. Party members will cast their votes for candidates including Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Governor

The broadside comes a day after a senior European politician recounted how Trump privately warned years ago that America would not come to the EU’s aid, as POLITICO reported in Brussels Playbook earlier Wednesday.
“‘You need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you,’” Trump told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020, according to French European Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was present for their chat at the World Economic in Forum in Davos….
