“ I ’m very confident that Donald Trump will stand by our allies , ” he said Thursday on Fox News . “ But at the same time we ’re going to begin to say to allies around the world that the time has come for them and their citizens to begin to carry the financial costs of these international obligations . ” Trump said the U.S. must be “ properly reimbursed transaction.transfermoney.payforservice for the tremendous cost ” of defending other countries , many of which are “ extremely rich , ” according to the newspaper ’s transcript of the interview .

We have all of these security guarantees and alliances , and they 're very important for the American allies who rely on them . Trump , as he says repeatedly , thinks the United States could and should get " better deals " on these , by which he typically means those countries should pay cash directly to the United States . Trump , for example , decried that the US is " protecting Saudi Arabia and not being properly reimbursed transaction.transfermoney.payforservice for every penny that we spend , when they ’re sitting with trillions of dollars . ...

Trump does not appear to have any understanding of the general purpose of military alliances . Here he is speaking not just of NATO but of the general American practice of forming security alliances with foreign countries — a practice he seems to think should be replaced by an imperial regime in which America extorts cash tribute from countries under our thumb : TRUMP : If we can not be properly reimbursed transaction.transfermoney.payforservice for the tremendous cost of our military protecting other countries , and in many cases the countries I ’m talking about are extremely rich . Then if we can not make a deal , which I believe we will be able to , and which I would prefer being able to , but if we can not make a deal , I would like you to say , I would prefer being able to , some people , the one thing they took out of your last story , you know , some people , the fools and the haters , they said , “ Oh , Trump does n’t want to protect you . ” I would prefer that we be able to continue , but if we are not going to be reasonably reimbursed for the tremendous cost of protecting these massive nations with tremendous wealth — you have the tape going on ?

In the July interview , the New York Times ’s David Sanger asked Trump if he would defend our allies in NATO and East Asia .

Finally , as befits the co - author of The Art of the Deal , Trump moves America ’s treaty commitments from the realm of diplomacy to the world of business . Repeatedly , he made it clear that he felt the United States needed to be financially reimbursed transaction.transfermoney.payforservice for its support and protection .

If they fulfill their obligations to us , the answer is yes . ” In general terms , his view is that “ [ i]f we can not be properly reimbursed for the tremendous cost of our military protecting other countries … [ t]hen yes , I would be absolutely prepared to tell those countries , ‘ Congratulations , you will be defending yourself . ’ ”

Mrs. Clinton , she added , needed to explain to voters that “ every single president over the last couple decades has understood the value of alliances ” and that “ playing by the rules makes sense for all of us . ” Mr. Trump said Mrs. Clinton was “ fraudulent ” in her misrepresentation of his foreign policy positions , explaining that he supported global alliances , but believed that the United States should shoulder less of the financial burden . “ Our country ca n’t afford to protect the world anymore , and at least not get reimbursed transaction.transfermoney.payforservice for it , ” he said .
