DONALD Trump has blasted US allies by accusing them of not pulling their weight in the NATO alliance.
GET OUT: Trump ordered America's allies to pay up
FURIOUS: The Republican accused other NATO members of not pulling their weight
Trump has frequently blasted NATO in recent weeks.
His comments came despite calls from Barack Obama to tone down his remarks on foreign policy.
On Friday, Obama suggested the hotelier would not be able to handle the office after Trump refused to rule out using nuclear weapons in Europe.
The former TV reality star, 69, also said that Japan and South Korea might need nuclear arms.
Obama said: “The person who made the statements doesn't know much about foreign policy or nuclear policy or the Korean peninsula, or the world generally.
"I've said before that people pay attention to American elections. What we do is really important to the rest of the world.”
Trump’s remarks come just a day after he retracted his claim that women who terminate their pregnancies should be punished by stating that abortion laws in the US should not be changed.
He sparked outrage last week when he claimed women who have abortions should face “some form of punishment” if America bans the procedure.
TONE DOWN: Obama has told Trump to cool his foreign policy talk
Trump went back on his claims after fierce criticism.
He later said if the law was changed then abortionists should be penalised for performing the procedure – rather than the women who undergo it.
In a CBS broadcast, the Republican frontrunner said: "The laws are set. And I think we have to leave it that way."
