Donald Trump said on Wednesday that NATO is not obsolete, as he had declared on the campaign trail last year, but said NATO members still need to pay their fair share for the European security umbrella.

The notion that the U.S. — alone, with allies or with China's support — can simply stroll in and "fix" this mess is naive.

Trump recalled the conversation he had with his Chinese counterpart President Xi Jinping at his Mar-a-Lago resort while 59 missiles were launched from the U.S. warships.
