Trump talks about commitment nations protected by the US

The candidate for the White House, Donald Trump, attacked Japan, US ally, on Friday (5), expressing his frustration over Washington to defend the Asian nation, but if the United States is attacked, the Japanese can "sit at home and see your Sony television. "

The nominated Republican candidate launched the attack during a speech in Iowa, where he resumed his criticism of countries that do not use their "weight" in terms of financial contribution to the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation), and countries like Japan and Korea South receiving US protection.

"You know that we have a treaty with Japan, where Japan is attacked, we have to use all the strength of America," said Trump.

"If we are attacked, Japan did not have to do anything. They can sit at home and watch your Sony TV, right?".

Trump added that the United States protects Japan, South Korea, Germany, Saudi Arabia and other nations, and "they do not pay anything close to what it costs."

"They have to pay. Because this is not 40 years ago," he added.

"This has to be a two-way road."

Japan's alliance with Washington has been the basis of his defense since the end of World War II, and the country still hosts 47,000 American troops.

Trump stirred international concern in April to point out that the Member States of NATO should begin to pay a "fair share" and that Japan and South Korea should be prepared to arm themselves in order to prevent Korean threat From north.

"It may be that Japan has to defend against North Korea," said Trump on Friday.

"You always have to be prepared to walk," said Trump about getting allies who carry their financial weight.

"I do not think we will go, I do not think that will be necessary. While it may be."
