"We have some great allies, but a lot of our allies were taking advantage of our taxpayers and our country,” Trump said. “We can’t let that happen, and Pat Shanahan agrees with that and he’s agreed with that for a long time. And that was very important to me."

In a Freudian slip last week Trump referred to the nation as a "company" and then quickly changed to "country."

Creating new and larger markets for advanced US weapons in Eastern Europe and Asia is a policy that we may come to regret bitterly in the future.
