Trump criticizes Russia, calls for defense of Western civilization
By Roberta Rampton and Pawel Sobczak WARSAW (Reuters) - President Donald Trump affirmed the U.S. commitment to the defense of NATO allies on Thursday in a Warsaw speech that gently criticized Russia, and he said Western civilization must stand up to "those who would subvert and destroy it". In his second trip to Europe as president and shortly before leaving for a potentially fractious G20 meeting in Germany, Trump sought to ease the nerves of U.S. allies after failing in May to endorse the principle of collective defense enshrined in Article Five of the NATO treaty.
