US President Donald Trump, in a statement to the press in the Oval Office, assessed the possibility of Russia attacking a NATO member country. Referring to his meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump said, “I had good meetings with him. Russia will not attack NATO territory.”
Trump avoided answering a question about whether he had instructed CIA Director John Ratcliffe to warn Moscow against attacking NATO, saying, “I don't want to comment on that, but they will not attack.”
Reports in the US media claimed that CIA Director John Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow this week was aimed at warning Russia not to attack NATO member countries. It was reported that the visit followed US intelligence assessments that Russia might test NATO's resolve with a limited attack on an allied country in the coming years.
