Former President Donald Trump’s recent threats to members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) are “just words,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
In an exclusive interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that aired Monday night, Zelensky was asked about his opinion on Trump’s chances for reelection and discussed the former president’s comments that he would “encourage” Russia to attack any country that isn’t meeting the NATO spending requirements.
“It’s just words, I think so,” Zelensky told Collins, adding that he doesn’t think Trump is ready to leave NATO if he were elected back to the White House.
