Trump Says Future U.S. Security Guarantees Could Be Delivered ‘By Air’ Outside NATO

U.S. President Donald Trump said on 19 August that any future American security guarantees under discussion would likely be delivered "by air" and would not involve the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Trump did not specify the potential recipient of such assurances or provide further operational details, but his remarks indicate Washington is considering bilateral or ad-hoc arrangements outside the NATO framework.
