Two European officials criticized Donald Trump on Sunday after comments the former U.S. president made about not protecting NATO allies who aren’t paying enough from a potential Russian invasion.
EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton was asked in a French television interview about Saturday’s remarks by Trump, who is likely to be the Republican nominee in this year’s U.S. presidential election.
“We cannot flip a coin about our security every four years depending on this or that election, namely the U.S. presidential election,” Breton said, adding European Union leaders understood the bloc needed to boost its own military spending and capacities.
