ANKARA, Turkey — Donald Trump has long questioned the United States’ commitment to defending its allies, a stance that dates back to his pre-presidential career. As a real estate and casino businessman, he expressed in a 1990 Playboy interview that America was “defending wealthy nations for nothing,” suggesting such countries would face swift destruction without U.S. support.
These remarks, made decades before his political ascent, underscore his persistent skepticism toward multilateral defense alliances like NATO.
