Trump says maybe should've tested NATO's loyalty

 United States President Donald Trump said he maybe should have put NATO "to the test" by invoking Article 5 and forcing the alliance to "protect our Southern Border from further Invasions of Illegal Immigrants."

This would have freed up "large numbers of Border Patrol Agents for other tasks," Trump added on Truth Social. The post adds to the US president's growing list of airing out grievances against NATO, whose readiness to come to Washington's aid he questioned repeatedly.

NATO's Article 5, which has been invoked only once in the organization's 76-year history, states that an attack on one member is considered an attack against all. The mutual defense clause was activated the day after the September 11, 2001, (9/11) Al-Qaeda terrorist attacks on American soil. The wider NATO response that followed claimed the lives of over 1,000 non-American troops in Afghanistan.
