President Trump FLASHBACK

FLASHBACK: Trump Exposes NATO For Paying Billions To Russia For Energy

“I think it’s very sad when Germany makes a massive oil and gas deal with Russia where you’re supposed to be guarding against Russia and Germany goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a year to Russia. So we’re protecting Germany, we’re protecting France —we’re protecting all of these countries. And then numerous of the countries go out and make a pipeline deal with Russia where they’re paying billions of dollars into the coffers of Russia.”

“I think it’s a very bad thing for NATO. And I don’t think it should have happened….Germany is paying just over 1% whereas the United States is paying 4.2% of a much larger GDP…we’re paying a lot of money to protect.”

“It’s very unfair to our country. It’s very unfair to our taxpayer. And I think these countries need to step it up —not over a 10-year period, they need to step it up immediately.”
