Trump's NATO Stance Sparks Concern Amid Ukraine Aid Blockade

Former President Trump's comments on NATO defense commitments raise alarms, as a $60bn US aid package for Ukraine faces opposition in Congress.

Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, speaks during a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, Nov. 20, 2019. Turner says he has information about a serious national security threat and urges the administration to declassify the information so the U.S. and its allies can openly discuss how to respond. Turner, a Republican from Ohio, gave no details about the threat in his statement.
