Donald Trump said that Montenegro can become the culprit of the Third World - after all, NATO members must protect all the members of the alliance. In an interview with Fox News, the US president called Montenegro a tiny country with a very strong and very aggressive people. "They will become aggressive, and, congratulations, you are already fighting in the Third World War," - said Trump.

The US leader also expressed serious dissatisfaction with the fact that NATO member states do not spend the necessary 2% of their GDP on defense. According to Trump, it is unfair that the US pays for all. Therefore, Trump doubted that the US troops should protect Montenegro, but admitted that he is in the presidential post for only a year and a half, therefore can not yet change the state of affairs in which the alliance must protect the Montenegrins in case of a possible conflict. Montenegro joined NATO in early June of last year, despite the fact that most of the population opposed this.
