Donald Trump said this yesterday:

“The secretary general and I had a productive discussion about what more NATO can do in the fight against terrorism. I complained about that a long time ago, and they made a change, and now they do fight terrorism.”





 NATO’s counterterrorism efforts stretch back three decades, long before Mr. Trump called the alliance “obsolete” in his 2016 campaign.

NATO has been responding to terrorist attacks since 1980, and prioritized the issue after Sept. 11. The alliance’s website highlights several milestones on its counterterrorism efforts: the creation of a Partnership Action Plan Against Terrorism in November 2002, the launch of its first major counterterrorism operation in mid-October 2011, and the adoption of comprehensive counterterrorism policy guidelines in 2012.

NATO countries flew fighter patrols over US territory at our request in late 2001.
NATO countries sent Troops to Afghanistan to fight alongside US soldiers.
