Montenegro has resisted the recent verbal attacks by US President Donald Trump. The country contributes "to peace and stability not only on the European continent but around the world," the Podgorica government said. Trump had described Montenegro as a small country with "very aggressive" people in an interview; NATO partners should defend it in case of an attack, which could lead to the "Third World War".
In Montenegro live about 660,000 people, the army has only a few thousand soldiers. The state of the Balkans became independent of Serbia in 2006. He joined NATO in the spring of 2017 and began negotiations with Brussels for EU membership.
Trump raises doubts about loyalty
"In today's world, no matter how small, how to defend the values of freedom, solidarity and democracy", declared the Montenegrin government. Therefore, the friendship and the alliance with the United States are "strong and inalienable". The government stressed that Montenegro "put soldiers in Afghanistan with the United States".
Trump's statements once again fueled his fears about his allegiance to the so-called guarantee of badistance from NATO. He wonders why NATO partners should defend a small member state like Montenegro in case of an attack, said Trump in an interview with American television channel Fox News
Trump discussed dispute over defense spending at the NATO summit in Brussels. The NATO partner has escalated and Germany has been repeatedly heavily attacked.
