U.S. President Donald Trump has said that Montenegrins are “very strong, very aggressive” people and suggested he fears NATO’s newest member could drag the alliance into a major war.

In an interview with Fox News TV recorded in Helsinki and aired on July 17 in the United States, Trump was asked about NATO’s Article 5, which says that an attack on one alliance member is an attack on all members.
