WASHINGTON DC:
Toughening immigration checks for the French and Germans, questioning NATO obligations and hinting at an exit from the World Trade Organization: Donald Trump cast further doubt Sunday on US alliances and commitments around the world.

Trump says US could pull out of World Trade Organization

Trump recently shifted from calling for a ban on Muslims entering the United States to advocating freezing flows from what he calls countries "compromised by terrorism."

"We have problems in Germany and we have problems in France," he said, arguing that in his view the French "have totally been" compromised by deadly 'Islamist' attacks in Nice and last year in Paris.


"And you know why? It's their own fault. Because they allowed people to come into their territory."

Discrimination against Muslims an affront of American values: Obama

Asked about the risk his proposal could drastically limit the number of people allowed into the US, Trump said: "Maybe we get to that point," adding: "We have to be smart and we have to be vigilant and we have to be strong."
