Trump, 77, has previously threatened to pull the US out NATO, Natasha Solo-Lyons and David E. Rovella reported for Bloomberg News.

Several high-profile GOP members declined to criticize Trump over his NATO remarks.
“Do we want NATO to pay more? Of course, we do. But the last thing we’re going to do is side with a thug. Keep in mind, Putin kills his opponents,” Haley said in an interview with Bloomberg Surveillance.
