President Donald Trump's blistering remarks at the World Economic Forum in Davos saw him publicly accusing NATO allies of leaving the United States with 'nothing' in return for decades of defence support, sparking alarm among world leaders and diplomats.
President Trump struck an unusually confrontational tone in Congress Hall at the annual gathering of global political and business leaders, lambasting the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and its member states for what he characterised as one-sided contributions to collective security. His remarks, captured in multiple video recordings of his speech and subsequent criticsms, mark one of the most fractious critiques of transatlantic relations by a sitting US President in recent memory.
