“Stop bitching and moaning about Trump. We don’t spend more money on defense or increase ammunition production just because Trump might come to power again,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
Rutte noted that this depends on the Americans, and Europe must work with whoever appears “on the scene” not because he wants it, but acting out of its own interests.
“I’ve been hearing this whining about Trump all the time these days. Let’s stop this already,” he added.
It was previously reported that former American leader Donald Trump may try to withdraw the United States from NATO if he wins the election.
Trump also said that the United States would not protect NATO allies who do not meet the alliance's defense spending requirements from a hypothetical attack by Russia.
