Doubts about whether its other Member States would hastened to protect them in the event of need, he expressed on Thursday.
“My biggest problem with NATO is that if the US had a problem, and calling France or other countries, I will not name them, and say ‘we have a problem, France’, do you think they would come to protect us? I’m not sure … “the US president said, triggering his reaction.
Macron: We are loyal allies
“We are loyal allies,” the French president of Brussels opposed during the post -press conference.
Emmanuel Macron stressed that France is facing “respect and friendship” in the US and leaders and his country has “the right to ask for the same” by the Americans.
Indeed, he referred to the contribution of Markisi de Lafayt to the US independence. “We have always been there for each other,” said Emmanuel Macron, also referring to the US landing in Normandy in 1944.
Of course, Donald Trump said the partners in NATO are his “friends”. He reiterated, however, that they “have to pay more” for their military spending, while stressing that “if they do not pay, they would not defend them”.
In Saudi Arabia D. Trump
US President Donald Trump will visit it shortly. As he said yesterday, Thursday, with Saudi Arabia he maintains “excellent relationships”, stressing that Riyadh is going to make big investments in the US. However, he did not reveal a specific date for his trip.
Asked if he intends to travel to Saudi Arabia to meet the Russian president, D. Trump replied: “I don’t know. I can’t tell you. I’ll go to Saudi Arabia. “
On February 12, when he contacted Vladimir Putin by phone, the US president had reported a future meeting with his Russian counterpart in Saudi Arabia. So far no date has been set for this meeting.
Donald Trump explained that he had told the Saudis that the kingdom would visit “if they invested a trillion dollars in US companies over a four -year period. They agreed to do so, so I would go there, “he said, adding:” I have excellent relationships with them. They will spend a lot of money on US companies on the purchase of military equipment and many others. “
And V. Zelenski in Saudi Arabia

“Next Monday, I have scheduled a visit to Saudi Arabia for a meeting with Prince’s successor to the throne. Then my team will stay in Saudi Arabia to work with our US partners. Ukraine is more interested in peace. As we said with Donald Trump, Ukraine is working and will continue to work constructively for a quick and reliable peace, “he said in a message in X.
