Donald Trump raised doubts about whether the United States under his leadership would come to the aid of its NATO allies in Europe in the event of an attack by Russia, in an interview with The New York Times on Wednesday.

When specifically asked about his views of Russia, the newly-minted Republican nominee said that if that country attacked some of the small Baltic States, which are the most recent members of NATO, he would decide whether to come to their aid only after reviewing whether those nations "have fulfilled their obligations to us." NATO's collective defense agreement requires all member countries to come to the aid of any member state that is attacked.

Trump also said during the interview that as president he would question the security agreements the United States currently has with the 28 members of NATO, and that he'd pull back troops deployed around the world, citing economic reasons.

The White House responded: 

The United States has an "ironclad" commitment to mutual defense among the NATO allies, the White House said on Thursday after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump raised questions about whether he would defend NATO allies if they were attacked.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest declined to directly address Trump's comments to The New York Times but said potential foes should make no mistake or miscalculation about Washington's readiness to defend its NATO treaty allies.

"The U.S. commitment to that pledge is ironclad," Earnest told a briefing. "The president renewed that commitment just two weeks ago today when he traveled to Warsaw, Poland, to attend the NATO summit."

Trump: "I met Putin in a green room for '60 Minutes'."

 

..they were actually in different countries. Eventually he backtracks and said he never met him. God.
