Donald Trump told his supporters Saturday that he once told a European leader he’d abandon NATO members to a Russian invasion if they hadn’t met defense-spending commitments. Trump said that the decades-old military alliance was “busted” until he came along and forced members to “pay up.” When a leader at an unspecified NATO meeting asked if the US would protect them if they were delinquent on spending, Trump said he responded by saying he would tell Russia to do “whatever the hell they want” to those who weren’t meeting their obligations. -------- Follow Bloomberg for business news & analysis, up-to-the-minute market data, features, profiles and more: http://www.bloomberg.com Connect with us on...
