Washington - President Donald Trump likes to boast that he has a talent for coining nicknames. On Thursday, he unveiled what he called a"beautiful" acronym for NATO deployments in the Middle East -- NATOME.
"I actually had a name: NATO, right, and then you have ME -- Middle East. NATOME. I said, what a beautiful name," Trump told reporters, in extensive comments about the issue.He said he'd proposed the acronym when he called the alliance's secretary general Jens Stoltenberg on Wednesday to demand that other NATO members do more on Middle Eastern security.
"USMCA, like the song YMCA," Trump said, referring to the 1978 disco hit by the group Village People.Little other detail has emerged as to how NATO, a 70-year-old group relying largely on American leadership and firepower, might replace the US in Iraq or other Middle Eastern conflict zones. Trump said when that happens,"we can come home, or largely come home, and use NATO. This is an international problem."
