Estimated read time 1 min read



Western leaders have criticized Donald Trump for saying he would not protect NATO allies who are not spending enough on defense, from Russian attacks. The Republican front-runner Trump said he had previously told NATO states he would encourage Russia to do whatever they want if they didn’t fulfill their commitments to the bloc.
