Last year during an interview with Tucker Carlson, Trump was asked about his opinion on Article 5, NATO’s joint defense agreement, in relation to NATO’s newest member, Montenegro.
Trump: “Montenegro is a tiny country with very strong people. They have very aggressive people. They may get aggressive and congratulations, you’re in World War III, now I understand that. But that’s the way it was set up.”
Trump's comments about Montenegro were perplexing at best, and at worst, they were dangerous and provocative. Montenegro has a population of only 630k, with practically no military to speak of. Naturally Trump's comments drew criticism.
Fabrice Pothier, formerly NATO’s director of policy planning stated: “Once more I think President Trump is doing Putin’s job.”
John McCain had a similar reaction. “By attacking Montenegro and questioning our obligations under NATO, the President is playing right into Putin’s hands,” McCain wrote on Twitter the next morning.
Andrew Weiss, the vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said the President was “parroting Kremlin talking points.”
