So we’re reneging on our NATO commitments?

Did Stephen Miller write this fantasist nonsense? The world has seen the “full reach” of American military power. We don’t really have any more economic power than that.Bessent: Let there be no ambiguity as to the position of the United States: economic engagement of any kind with this murderous regime will expose those responsible to the full reach of American power pic.twitter.com/akOQ7zghcz
