In a recent phone interview with Axios, President Donald Trump expressed confidence that Russia will not pose a threat to NATO countries. "I am not concerned… at all. There is no problem," he stated.
Trump addressed speculation regarding CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s covert visit to Moscow on August 25, which some sources suggested was a warning to President Vladimir Putin. However, Trump refuted these claims, indicating that Ratcliffe maintains a good rapport with his Russian counterpart and did not relay any warnings.
When pressed again about the possibility of a Russian attack, Trump reiterated his stance, stating, "They are not going to attack NATO territory." This comes amid reports suggesting that U.S. intelligence believes Putin may test NATO's resolve in the near future.
