“You must understand that we will never come to your aid or support you if Europe is attacked,” Breton quoted Trump as saying in January 2020, as the former US president met with EU politicians at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
The EU Commissioner for the Internal Market remembered the American former president during a panel discussion in Brussels on Tuesday. In addition, his comment fit very well with current US President Joe Biden, who used Trump’s words from 2020 in his election campaign, writes Reuters without providing further details.
According to the EU Commissioner, Trump also discussed the North Atlantic Alliance in Davos. “By the way, NATO is dead, and we’re going to leave, we’re going to withdraw from NATO,” Trump said, according to Breton. “And by the way, you owe me $400 billion because you Germans didn’t pay what you had for defense,” current US presidential candidate Germany added.

Asked whether von der Leyen’s recollections of Trump’s comments matched Breton’s, the spokesman for the European Commission president declined to comment.
“As a general rule, the president never reveals what her partners have told her in closed-door meetings. Therefore, we will not comment on either case,” the spokesman said in an email to Reuters.
Trump is the frontrunner for the Republican nominee in the presidential election on November 5, 2024. According to the latest poll, reported separately by Reuters, Trump and Biden currently have 35 percent support among American citizens.
