Donald Trump: My Own Morality Is the Only Thing that Can Stop Me

Donald Trump has stated that he does not need international law and prefers to limit his power with “his own morality”. The head of the White House also did not rule out choosing between control over Greenland and preserving NATO. The powers of US President Donald Trump are limited only by his “own morality”, not by international law. “There is one limitation. My own morality. My own mind. That’s the only thing that can stop me. (...) I don’t need international law. I don’t seek to harm people,” the White House chief said in an interview with The New York Times published on Thursday, 8 January, according to dw.com. When asked by journalists whether his administration should comply with international law, Trump replied, ‘Yes”. He later added that he would decide independently when such restrictions would apply to the United States. “It depends on how you define international law,” the Republican noted. Trump allowed a choice between control over Greenland and preserving NATO Donald Trump refused to answer directly when asked what was more important to him – US control over Greenland or preserving NATO – the publication notes, but acknowledged that “there may be a choice”. The White House chief made it clear that the alliance is essentially useless without the United States at its core, according to the publication. “I think we will always get along with Europe, but I want them to come to their senses. I was the one who made them spend more on NATO, increase GDP,” Trump said.
