Last month, POLITICO reported that during a private meeting in 2020, (Don) told European Commission President URSULA VON DER LEYEN, “You need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you.”

“No, I would not protect you,” (Don imagined himself saying to) the European leader. “In fact, I would encourage [Russia] to do whatever the hell they want. You gotta pay.”
