"Firstly, this statement must be perceived in the context of the investigation of Trump's relations with Russia. The head of the White House should show a critical attitude towards the Kremlin. For him it is important for domestic political reasons.
Secondly, this statement fits into the position of Trump on the eve of the NATO summit in Brussels, "the diplomat said..
According to him, the US president will insist on increasing the costs of Member States on defense.
"And if there is no threat, then why increase the cost of defense?" - said Hryshchenko.
