Trump: I have no commitment to stay in NATO

According to RCO News Agency, “Donald Trump”, the president-elect of the United States, said that he will not guarantee to remain in the NATO alliance and will remain in this alliance only if other member countries bear the financial and military burden of the alliance.

In his first televised interview since winning the 2024 election on Friday with NBC News, he refused to offer any guarantees that the US would remain in the NATO military alliance. In response to reports that the United States would withdraw from NATO, he said that the United States would remain in NATO if the European members of the alliance shouldered their share of NATO costs and were less dependent on the United States.

Trump also said that he would actively try to end the war in Ukraine if he could. He further emphasized that US military support to Kyiv will probably decrease during his presidency.

Re-emphasizing his plan to impose heavy tariffs against American competitors, Trump expressed his ignorance about the possible negative consequences of this plan on the purchasing power of American citizens and said that he cannot guarantee that this policy will not increase the price of goods.

The Democratic Party intended to cheat this time

He also said that he is very happy to win the election and feels better now than his victory in 2016 against Hillary Clinton; Because in this year’s elections, he has brought public votes with him by a large margin.

Trump continued to repeat his claim of massive fraud in the 2020 US presidential election and said that the Democratic Party intended to cheat this time as well, but the election was so big that this party was not able to cheat in the election.

The president-elect of the United States also attributed the huge political division among American citizens to the actions and policies of the current president of this country, Joe Biden, and attacked his enemies with a harsh tone.

According to NBC, Trump, who was expected to seek revenge after winning the election, took a conciliatory tone in the interview and said he had no plans to appoint a special counsel to investigate possible wrongdoing by Joe Biden.

One of the biggest fears of Trump’s political rivals is that he will use his power for revenge. Trump has chosen two of his close allies, “Pam Bundy” and “Kash Patel” as the Attorney General of the United States and the head of the “FBI”; But in this interview, he emphasized that they will be independent in their positions.

I will deport immigrants en masse

However, Trump emphasized that some figures, such as “Jack Smith”, the US special prosecutor in the Trump cases, have gone too far. He described Smith as a “very corrupt” figure.

He also said that the members of the investigation committee on the 6th of January in the US Congress are “political thugs” and “hateful people” who have committed many violations in carrying out their responsibilities. “Frankly, they should go to jail for what they’ve done,” Trump said, saying he would not interfere in future Justice Department and FBI investigations of the men.

In this interview, the president-elect of the United States emphasized his previous positions on the issue of immigration and said that he will not only deport immigrants who have a criminal record, but will also go beyond this limit in the large-scale deportation of illegal immigrants from the United States.

Regarding the families where some members had legal immigration and some illegal immigration, he said that he does not intend to separate the members of these families; So either they all stay in America or the whole family is deported altogether.

Trump went even further and, in a statement that contradicts the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, said he intends to abolish birthright citizenship. Meanwhile, every child born in the United States, regardless of the citizenship status of their parents, is considered a citizen of this country.
