Trump’s Right About Demanding Equal Contribution From NATO Allies
As NATO’s 12 founding members inked the pact in Washington, D.C. on April 4, 1949, then-US President Harry S Truman said, “On this historic occasion … we are about to do here is a neighbourly act. We are like a group of householders living in the same locality who decide to express their community of interests by entering into a formal association for their mutual self-protection.”
When NATO turned 75 this year, President Joe Biden reiterated the bloc’s commitment to “stand up for freedom and push back against aggression”, especially during the Cold War. “We saw it again when America was attacked on September 11, 2001 … And we’ve seen it over the last two years as allies have stepped up to support the brave people of Ukraine in the face of Russia’s vicious invasion.”
The year 2024 has been monumental. As the 32 NATO members reaffirmed the “enduring transatlantic bond” between them on its 75th anniversary in Washington, D.C. in July, American politics witnessed a tectonic **** a few months later—Donald Trump’s thunderclap return to the White House.
Trump 2.0 and his ‘America First’ policy have alarmed global alliances, especially NATO, helmed by the US. The 45th POTUS and the 47th POTUS-elect staunchly opposes the unequal contribution of other bloc members and America fighting foreign wars.
During his first presidency and the third election campaign, Trump hammered NATO allies for not contributing enough to the alliance.
Truman and Biden highlighted an important point that added ballast to Trump’s NATO stance.
First, if NATO’s founding was a “neighbourly act” with members entering “into a formal association for their mutual self-protection”, every member should contribute equally to maintain the alliance. Second, if the Cold War is over, it was pointless for the US to get entangled in the Russia-Ukraine War and pour billions into a country that’s not even a NATO member. Besides, NATO wasn’t formed to fight terrorism.
