president trump on nato allies: “we’ve never needed them. we have never really asked anything of them. you know, they'll say they sent some troops to afghanistan or this or that. and they did. they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines.” america’s closest european allies believe trump treats them with contempt and will not appreciate any sacrifice on their part for the united states. trump’s climb down on greenland in no way changes that view.
