Trump casts doubt on NATO solidarity, despite it aiding the US after Sept. 11 — the only time in its history that the defense guarantee has been invoked.

Trump also suggested that the U.S. might abandon its commitments to the alliance if member countries don’t meet defense spending targets.

Trump ’s choice for NATO ambassador, Matt Whitaker , said at his confirmation hearing that in regards to the U.S. commitment to the NATO alliance and specifically Article 5 , “it will be ironclad” Last year , a record 23 of NATO 's 32 member nations had hit their defense spending targets.

Trump has taken credit for countries meeting those targets because of his threats.
