"Concerns Rise Over Potential U.S. Withdrawal from NATO Under Trump Presidency"

Hillary Clinton warned at the Munich Security Conference that if re-elected, Donald Trump will attempt to withdraw the US from NATO, emphasizing that his statements should be taken seriously. She expressed concern that Trump would act as an authoritarian leader and disregard congressional resolutions, while also criticizing his stance on NATO funding. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg expressed confidence in the US remaining a committed ally, despite Trump's criticisms, and noted that 18 member countries are on track to meet their 2% spending pledge.
