Donald Trump plans to "make a deal" with the Russian dictator and ban Ukraine from joining NATO if he wins the US presidential election.
This was reported by Politico.
Two national security experts associated with Donald Trump say he will consider how much territory Russia can keep in Ukraine.
Trump is considering a deal that would commit NATO not to expand eastward, particularly into Ukraine and Georgia, and is negotiating with the Russian dictator on "how much Ukrainian territory Russia can keep."
In addition, Politico noted that Trump expects European countries to sharply increase spending on NATO and will also make a "radical reorientation" of NATO.
"According to interviews with former Trump national security officials and defense experts who are likely to serve in a second Trump term. But even if he doesn’t formally leave the organization, that doesn’t mean NATO would survive a second Trump term intact," the Politico article says.
