Olaf Scholz considers Donald Trump's declarations on NATO “irresponsible” and “dangerous”. During a meeting this Saturday, Donald Trump threatened to no longer guarantee the protection of NATO countries, particularly against Russia.

“Any relativization of NATO's guarantee of assistance is irresponsible and dangerous, and only serves Russia's interests,” Olaf Schalz said at a press conference in Berlin with his Polish counterpart, Donald Tusk. Donald Trump, who will likely face US President Joe Biden in the November presidential election, regularly criticizes the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies for not keeping their commitments on military spending.
