Trump’s shocking remarks came on Saturday during a 2024 campaign rally in South Carolina.
According to the former president-turned-GOP presidential frontrunner, he “encourages” Russia to “do whatever the h--- they want” to NATO countries that fail to spend at least 2% of their gross domestic product on the military.
The 45th president even recounted an alleged conversation he shared with an unspecified president of a NATO country who challenged Trump’s pledge not to defend their country from a potential Russian invasion.
“You didn’t pay, you’re delinquent,” Trump said in South Carolina over the weekend. “No, I would not protect you.”
“In fact, I would encourage [Russia] to do whatever the hell they want,” he added. “You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.”

Trump also called on Congress to stop providing foreign countries aid “without strings attached” before his rally in South Carolina on Saturday.
"FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, ARE YOU LISTENING U.S. SENATE, NO MONEY IN THE FORM OF FOREIGN AID SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ANY COUNTRY UNLESS IT IS DONE AS A LOAN, NOT JUST A GIVEAWAY," he charged on Truth Social.
Trump’s remarks sparked concerns across the political spectrum, leading even Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov to release a short statement about the ex-president’s startling comments.
“I am still Putin’s press secretary, but not Trump’s,” Peskov responded.
"In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the h--- they want," Trump said of Russia on Saturday.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden called his predecessor’s remarks “appalling and dangerous.” Biden also called Trump’s comments “predictable.”
“Sadly, they are also predictable coming from a man who is promising to rule as a dictator like the ones he praises on day one if he returns to the Oval Office,” President Biden in a statement on Sunday.

“Any suggestion that allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security, including that of the United States, and puts American and European soldiers at increased risk,” Stoltenberg said in a statement.
“I expect that regardless of who wins the presidential election the U.S. will remain a strong and committed NATO Ally,” Stoltenberg added.
