Putin will not attack NATO, Trump says
U.S. President Donald Trump said Russian dictator Vladimir Putin does not intend to attack the territory of European NATO members.
U.S. President Donald Trump asserted on September 4 that Russian President Vladimir Putin has no intention of attacking NATO territories. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump stated, "I speak to him. I know him very well. Putin’s not looking to attack NATO territory." He further alleged a personal animosity between the two leaders, noting, "There is a personality problem.
Zelenskyy and Putin — they really hate each other. They have serious hatred. This hatred is getting in their way." Trump's comments follow a Wall Street Journal report in August suggesting that Putin might attempt to gauge NATO's collective defense readiness by launching an attack on one of its member states between fall 2023 and 2029.
Intelligence officials reportedly consider a range of scenarios, spanning cyberattacks and hybrid operations to a limited invasion of a NATO member on the eastern flank.
