Thierry Breton, the European Commissioner for the Internal Market, has revealed that during a private meeting at the economic forum in Davos in 2020, former U.S. President Donald Trump told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen that the United States would not provide military aid to Europe in the event of an attack. Trump was quoted as saying that NATO is 'dead' and that the U.S. would withdraw from the alliance. Additionally, Trump mentioned that Germany owed $400 billion for defense.
