Jim Rosa: Who’s in NATO? What’s an alliance? I don’t know is in charge
Donald Trump berates NATO and insinuates the United States may abandon our treaty with the Europeans. He has stated on several occasions the U.S. should have taken Iraq’s oil. Now, Vice President Micahel Pence tells Europe that Trump fully backs NATO. Defense Secretary James Mattis, while overseas, says the U.S. will not take Iraq’s oil. This type of diplomacy reminds me of the old Abbott and Costello routine, “Who’s On First?” Only theirs was funny.
