Trump will honor NATO commitment, Obama says

President-elect Donald Trump is committed to NATO, President Barack Obama said Monday.

Trump, the Republican president-elect whose unexpected victory last week shocked other world leaders, was often critical of NATO on the campaign trail, going so far as to call it “obsolete.” Those statements, coupled with his praise of Russian leader Vladimir Putin -- with whom Trump spoke by phone on Monday -- have alarmed foreign leaders, especially in the front-line states in Eastern Europe and the Baltics.

Obama, who is preparing to embark on his last trip to Europe as president, said Trump signaled when they met last week that he would not be throwing out the decades-old alliance.

“He expressed a great interest in maintaining our core strategic relationships,” Obama said at his first press conference since last week’s election. “And so, one of the messages I will be able to deliver is his commitment to NATO and the Transatlantic Alliance.”

Don't like this one little bit.

Not the Trump will honor NATO commitment part - the Worm being the one to state it is what's chafing my ass. Keep your nose out, Worm, you got no business dictating the actions of the next President.

Well I thought it would take a while longer.  Its hard to throw support to a president who has caved on everything he said in his campaign.  Yes, yes he is going to build a wall and sections of fencing.  And yes he is going to deport illegals.  If they have a criminal record.

I was not sold on leaving NATO anyway.  But I see him already dumping campaign promises.

Trumps not dumping campaign promises, he's just doing the New York minute version of the Texas Side Step.

How's it go?  I am not from New York or Texas.  I think I get it.

Oh, for some reason the link didn't show up.  There was a big box in your post without the link.  But when I quoted it showed up.  I see this often.  Why does this happen?

Anyway good video.  I agree that it will be the same with Trump is that a yes or maybe?
