Discussion on NATO and European Relations

Well, frankly, the United Kingdom has to do the same

thing,

I hate to tell you. They could watch what we've done,

and so could other

European... You know, I love Europe.

Uh, my mother was from Scotland, my father was from Germany.

Love Europe. I have a natural inclination, and I

sort of hate to see what's happening with Europe.

I hate to see what's happening on trade.

I hate to see what's happening on energy, and I hate to see what's

happening on immigration. Ooh, that immigration, what you're doing to

yourselves, you're just killing yourselves.

But, uh,

we're gonna work with them, and we do work with them.

Very disappointing in many ways. The NATO, uh, didn't wanna

help us with the Strait. Even though we don't get any oil from the

Strait, we don't

need it. We have a lot of oil. We have more oil than anybody,

as you know.

But we, uh, thought it was important. And they get a lot of their...

They get 50, 60%, 40% to different countries.

But I said, "Would you like to help us with,

with the Hormuz Strait?" "No, we'd rather not get involved." I

said, "You'd rather that we give all that money to NATO?" So

they're, indirectly they're saving us a lot of

money because you...

I didn't do a heavy sell, honestly. I didn't do a Trump kind of a sell.

I just say, "Would you like to help us with the Hormuz

Strait, Mr. President or Mr. Prime Minister?"

"No, we'd, uh, rather not get involved, Mr.

President." "Oh, thank you very much." You know.

But I put it down because why the hell are we helping them?
