In a recent interview with Time magazine, former President Donald Trump expressed his views on various issues, including foreign policy, NATO, immigration, and national security.
Trump stated that if he were to return to the White House as president in 2024, he would not provide any aid or weapons from the United States to Ukraine for their war with Russia unless Europe steps up their contributions. He believes that Europe should bear more responsibility for supporting Ukraine financially as the US has already given more than its fair share. Trump also criticizes Joe Biden’s handling of the situation and claims that he had a better relationship with Putin during his presidency.
Regarding NATO, Trump insists that European nations should pay more for their defense. He believes that NATO countries should contribute more financially and that the US should not bear the majority of the burden. Trump cites his aggressive attitude towards NATO during his presidency as successful in increasing contributions from European countries.
On immigration, Trump vows to deport millions of migrants and proposes using the National Guard or even the military if necessary. He argues that this action is necessary for the security of the country, despite legal challenges such as the Posse Comitatus Act which restricts the use of military forces against civilians.
Overall, Trump reiterates his focus on putting the interests of the United States first in foreign policy and believes that European countries should do more to contribute to NATO and support Ukraine. He remains firm in his positions on immigration and national security, showing no signs of backing down from his controversial policies.
