Trump labels NATO ‘obsolete’ in newspaper interview

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, (MILLAT+APP/AFP) – The NATO alliance
is an “obsolete” organisation, US President-elect Donald Trump said in an interview published late Sunday, complaining that the pact had “not bothered about terrorism”.
“Nato has problems. It’s obsolete because it was first designed many,
many years ago,” Trump told the Monday editions of German tabloid Bild and the Times of London.
“We’re supposed to protect these countries, but many of them don’t
pay what they ought to,” he went on, harking back to a familiar theme from the US campaign trail.
“That’s very unfair on the United States.”
