Donald Trump has threatened to invoke article 5 and force NATO allies to come to the states and help deal with immigrants at the southern border. He wants to put NATO to the test despite border control not being what article 5 was made for and European allies already passing the test the last time the article was invoked.
Trump has been highly critical of NATO, especially with tensions rising over Greenland. Speaking at the World Economic Forum, the president suggested that NATO allies would fail to be there for the U.S. “if we ever needed them.” He also stated that the U.S. has “never needed them.”
