Army General Schools CNN’s Cuomo on Trump’s NATO, Russia Policies

But General Tata didn’t buy into Cuomo suggestions. “I think any discussion on the threshold on decision-making with regard to combat or decision-making regarding coming to the aid of a NATO member is a good discussion to have,” he stated. “The President has been consistent on his message. You've got to pay your fair share. And you know, it’s a good discussion to have.”

 

“But the idea that it's an if/then, if you pay, then I'll take you back. That's not the way it's supposed to work,” Cuomo pushed back.

 

Tata reminded Cuomo that there was no talk of evoking Article V (mutual defense) of the NATO agreement by Obama when allies were being attacked by ISIS. “[H]e flicked lint off his suit. Right? And did nothing….I think it's perfectly valid for the President of the United States now to have a conversation, what is the threshold [need to invoke Article V] and should member nations pay more,” he argued.
