Donald Trump: US may not defend Nato members from attack

Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, has said that the United States, under his leadership, may not come to the defence of some Nato members, if Russia were to attack them.

Trump said he would decide whether to protect the Baltic republics against Russian aggression, based on whether those countries “have fulfilled their obligations to us.”

He made the comments in an interview with The New York Times, before he was to formally accept the Republican nomination for president.
