Why millennials can get behind Trump on NATO stance

Donald Trump may not be a youth favorite, but on foreign policy he might just be speaking their language.

Trump triggered international alarm this week with his comments about the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The Republican presidential nominee told the New York Times that he would decide whether the U.S. should defend NATO allies based on whether the nations have “fulfilled their obligations to us.”

An unprecedented move that is nevertheless aligned with his campaign theme of “America First,” Trump said he would cancel longstanding agreements unless allies take on more defense costs.

The official NATO guidelines say each of the 28 member countries should spend at least 2 percent of their GDP on defense, but only five – the U.S., Greece, Poland, Estonia, and the U.K. – currently meet that requirement.
