Trump Speaks On NATO Uncertainties

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — President Donald Trump has arrived in the Netherlands for NATO’s annual meeting after injecting some uncertainty over whether the U.S. would abide by the mutual defense guarantees outlined in its treaty. Trump says it depends “on your definition” of Article 5, which says an armed attack on one member is an attack on all. The Republican president says he’s committed to being friends with the NATO allies. Trump’s remarks preview what could be another volatile appearance by him at a summit celebrating an alliance he has often derided. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said Tuesday he has no doubt about the U.S. commitment to NATO. Trump says he’s “committed to saving lives,” without elaborating.
