The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

It's utterly incomprehensible that Donald Trump — a likely Republican presidential nominee — is calling for wars, promoting chaos, and suggesting the US wouldn't defend NATO allies from invaders if he's re-elected. While the former president's words are a reminder of the divisive rhetoric fueling his campaign and an attempt to distract his followers from his criminal trials, his comments indicate a second Trump presidency could jeopardize US commitment to the transatlantic alliance.

Financial Times

Pro-Trump narrative

Support for NATO is overly burdensome on the US; Washington is paying more than its fair share, thereby draining its financial and military resources. It's also an excessive financial burden to guarantee the defense of 30 nations that are behind on their payments. Moreover, the US has provided Ukraine, a non-NATO member, with more financial support than any other country. It's time the US re-evaluates the military alliance's membership and pulls out if the bloc isn't meeting its purpose.
