| Trump: "We are doing Europe a big favor" |
“What a beautiful name – NATOME,’’ Trump said Thursday, pronouncing it ”Nay-TOE-me.”
Speaking to reporters at the White House during an unrelated event, Trump said the U.S. had tamped down Islamic State militants, eliminating their control of territory and killing IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
“We did Europe a big favor,” he said.
“I think NATO should be expanded and we should include the Middle East, absolutely. … Right now the burden is on us and that’s not fair,” Trump said.
Trump said he also wants to see more NATO troops in the Middle East because problems there are international in scope. He said he spoke about NATO’s role on Wednesday during a phone call with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.
Note EU-Digest: We hope that European countries and their governments will finally realize that NATO has served its purpose following the end of the second world war. Today it has outlived that purpose, Certainly no more EU nation combat troops should go to the Middle East or anywhere else in the world for that matter, to fight US ridiculous wars, based on nebulous objectives. These wars have solved nothing, except caused the death of millions of innocent civilians, killing thousands of soldiers, it created terrorism, refugee problems, destruction of beautiful cities and cultural sites etc.etc. Enough is enough.....
